Boot - Bay Networks 5393 Hardware Installation Manual

boot

The boot command requests the loading of appropriate Remote
Annex operating software from a cooperating host. The command
syntax is:
boot [–lv | filename]
Typing the letter q or
If you try to boot with a non-existent image file name, the
Annex will hang as it searches for the image. You must issue
the reset command from the service port terminal to recover.
A successful boot disables the ROM Monitor.
The boot command accepts a file name for the Remote Annex's image.
If the file name is not specified, boot displays the default file name
and prompts for one. If you do not provide a file name, or have not
defined one for the Remote Annex, boot requests the default
oper.63.enet file. Optionally, you can enter a file name using the
image command.
The Remote Annex boots from the defined preferred load host. If the
preferred load host is not defined or does not respond, the Remote
Annex broadcasts on the Ethernet and loads from the first host that
responds.
To initiate loading, the Remote Annex sends a load request message
to the selected host. After receiving a response, the Remote Annex
loads its operational code to RAM. When loading is complete, it
transfers control to the newly-loaded program. The Remote Annex
displays a symbol on the service port terminal for each data block
received during the boot.
