Troubleshooting Entering Commands at the Boot Prompt

B - 5

For example, a typical TCP/IP conÞguration might use the following

commands:

Figure B-1: BCP Command Examples

These commands set the MSS IP address, the software loadÞle, and the

loadhostÕs IP address (as well as that of a backup loadhost). The server then

reboots using the Flash command and will attempt to load the Þle MSS.SYS

from the host at 192.0.1.188.

The following commands are available from within the Boot ConÞguration

Program.

¥Help displays a one-page summary of available commands and

what they do.

¥Init 451 reboots the MSS after it has been conÞgured. It will restart

itself with full functionality. If it canÕt, the server will attempt to

reload continuously.

¥Change option tailors your server conÞguration and is used with one

or more of the options listed below.

ÐBOOTP {Enabled, Disabled} enables or disables the sending

of BOOTP queries during the boot sequence. It is enabled by

default.

ÐDHCP {Enabled, Disabled} enables or disables the sending of

DHCP queries during the boot sequence. It is enabled by

default.

ÐHardware xx-xx-xx specifies the last three numbers of the

serverÕs Ethernet address. The first three numbers will be

supplied automatically.

NOTE: The Ethernet address should have been set at the factory. Setting

an incorrect address could cause serious network problems.
