Chapter 3 ROM Monitor Commands
This chapter describes the ROM Monitor commands. Access these commands through a terminal connected to the console port located on the back of the Remote Annex 6300.
The ROM Monitor commands allow you to set a subset of the configuration (EEPROM) parameters. Some of these parameters, like the unit’s IP address, are required for booting the Remote Annex 6300; some parameters, like the broadcast address, are required if the network configuration differs from the supplied defaults. Table
Other parameters, although not required, are recommended for the Remote Annex 6300’s initial boot. Setting these parameters, rather than using the assigned defaults, minimizes errors during the initial boot. For example, setting the parameter that defines the preferred load host enables the Remote Annex 6300 to load by requesting assistance from a specific host, rather than by broadcasting that request to all hosts on the subnet.
After booting the Remote Annex, you can define the same parameters you defined using the ROM monitor, using the na utility, the local admin command, or SNMP. See Chapter 4 for information on Power- up and boot procedures; the Remoe Annex Administrator’s Guide for UNIX describes the na utility in detail.
ROM Monitor commands generally provide data about a subset of current configuration (EEPROM) parameters. When appropriate, they also display a prompt that allows the operator to change those parameters.
