Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Procedures
❑The IP encapsulation type. Many systems have hardware Ethernet interfaces that are IEEE 802.3 compliant, but very few actually do 802.3 IP packet encapsulation. Use the default, Ethernet, unless you know absolutely that your LAN does 802.2/802.3 IP packet encapsulation.
You can use the defaults for the name of the image file containing the Remote Annex 6300’s software and the address of the preferred load server host. If the value for the image name is incorrect, the Remote Annex 6300 cannot boot. Correct the name using the image command. If the address for the preferred load server host is incorrect, the boot takes longer, since the Remote Annex 6300 has to broadcast for a host. Correct the load host’s address using the addr command.
Confirm that the Remote Annex 6300 boot parameters are correct by using the appropriate ROM Monitor commands. Modify any boot parameters that are incorrect or missing. Boot the Remote Annex 6300 either by entering the boot command at the console, or by holding down the Reset button until the Power LED blinks rapidly.
Load Server Host Not Responding
The Remote Annex 6300 can boot from one of the following hosts acting as a load server host:
❑A UNIX host on the local area network
❑Another Remote Annex 6300
❑Any host (UNIX or
The following subsections discuss troubleshooting for some of these load server hosts.
