Manual Mode - Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS M Configuration Manual

Manual Mode

If the user opts for the manual-mode boot procedure for the first time boot, the required
parameters must be specified for a successful system boot. Manual mode configurations require
authentication. The default password is password. BOF parameters that should be configured
include:
•
•
•
•
•
NOTE: UplinkA and UplinkB parameters are available on 7210 SAS-M/T/X platforms.
Reference to uplink ports below apply to these platforms. It is not available on 7210 SAS-R6. On
7210 SAS-R6, on the out-of-band ethernet management port can be used to retrieve the image and
config file from the network.
Provisions to configure two uplinks is given in the BOF for port redundancy. If the image path and
configuration file path are local, then the IP address and routing information for uplinkA and
uplinkB are not required. The user can optionally obtain IP parameters through DHCP by
configuring 0 (zero) for the uplink port's IP address. In this case, the DHCP server should be
configured to grant the IP address and the default gateway information used to reach the server
where the image and configuration files are present. After the BOF configuration is completed, a
BOF with configured parameters is created in the flash that can be used for subsequent reboots.
The bootstrap image then processes the BOF parameters in order to boot the system. BOF
processing is explained in Configuration and Image Loading on page 129.
The eth-mgmt-disable parameter indicates if the out-of-band Ethernet management port is
enabled during the boot-up procedure. For a 7210 node which has a previous BOF, the boot
process uses the existing parameters for uplink A and uplink B ports to boot the TIMOS image.
The OOB port is disabled, by default. The user has an option to enable ethernet management port
and use it for booting up the system.
