rs-boot> set netaddr <IPaddr> rs-boot> set netmask <subnet-mask> rs-boot> set gateway <IPaddr> rs-boot> set bootsource <dir-filename> rs-root> set bootaddr <IPaddr>

Here is an example:

rs-boot>set netaddr 134.152.179.132

rs-boot>set netmask 255.255.255.224 rs-boot>set gateway 134.152.179.129 rs-boot>set bootsource /tftpboot/ros70 rs-boot>set bootaddr 134.152.176.5

6.Enter the set command to view the changes: Here is an example:

rs-boot> set

...

netaddr = 134.152.179.132 autoboot = boot

netmask = 255.255.255.224 gateway = 134.152.179.129 bootsource = /tftpboot/ros70

bootaddr = 134.152.176.5 ethaddr = 00:00:1d:12:34:56

sysid = -1 rs-boot>

7.From the Boot prompt, use the ping command to verify that the RS 2100 can reach the TFTP server.

8.Reboot the RS 2100. As the RS 2100 initializes, it ignores the software image on the internal flash and retrieves its operating software from the TFTP server at 134.152.176.5:

Here is an example:

rs-boot> boot Rebooting. . .
