Performs a series of diagnostic procedures to make sure the basic system is functioning with integrity.

Decompresses the main switching software run-time image from the flash ROM into DRAM area.

Begins executing the main switching software. During the POST process if the Esc key is pressed, a COMMAND LINE prompt appears.

Download Runtime

This option downloads the runtime system image to

you select this option, make sure:

 

• A host system is running a terminal emulation

 

program that supports the Kermit file transfer

 

protocol.

 

• The host system's hard drive has the required bi-

 

nary file that will be downloaded to the switch.

Configure the System

This option lets you modify any configurable parame-

 

ter in the switch's flash ROM before the switch sys-

tics. This option has the same download requirements

 

as the runtime software applied. When the file trans-

 

fer is completed, the target system jumps to the entry

 

point of the diagnostic program and starts executing

 

the diagnostic code. The Main Menu of the diagnostic

 

program appears, where you can initiate tests or

 

obtain system information. Note that user interven-

 

tion is not required when a test runs, unless an error

 

occurs. If an error occurs during testing, you are
