Parameter
Gateway <xx.xx.xx.xx>
SNMPread <string>
SNMPwrite <string>
VLAN <number>
After the USB drive is inserted with the properly formatted IP.cfg in its root
directory, the ERS 4500 must be factory defaulted, either directly from the
factory on a first time bootup, or, if the ERS 4500 has already been booted
up, without even adding any user-supplied IP config data, the ERS 4500
must be factory-default rebooted using the factory default command from
the CLI.
Step

The system bootup sequence will NOT announce that it is retrieving IP.cfg data
from the USB drive. The action will be silent. Also, users attached to the serial
console during factory default reboot will observe the Nortel Logo page only, and
should NOT attempt to access the switch for at least 3 minutes after the logo
screen is displayed. During this timeframe, the system will attempt to read the
USB drive IP.cfg file silently.
The attempt nor result of the attempt to read the USB file is displayed on the
console. If the attempt to read the USB IP.cfg file fails, the system reacts
with the following action: After 3 minutes of displaying the Nortel Logo page,
the user should press Cntrl-Y. If the result is the system prompting the
user for an IP address, then the USB IP.cfg file read has failed.
