Boot - Bay Networks 6300 Supplement Manual

Book C
Remote Annex 6300 Supplement to the Remote Annex Administrator's Guide for UNIX
The password is not echoed when entered using the annex command. If
you enter an incorrect password, na prompts for the correct one. If the
password is incorrect a second time, na drops the RA 6300 from the
annex_list. If an RA 6300 in the list does not respond, na ignores that
RA 6300 and prints a status message:
132.245.6.1: Not responding
Warning:132.245.6.1 has been dropped from the list
The na utility drops an RA 6300 from the annex_list if its name could
not be translated to an Internet address, if it does not respond because it
is down, or if the wrong Internet address was entered using the annex
command.

boot

The boot command reboots all RA 6300s in the annex_list and,
optionally, produces a dump of the RA 6300's memory, including the
operational code. You can set a time at which the boot is to take place.
The boot command can send a warning message to users attached to the
RA 6300. Table C-3 lists the supported arguments for the boot command.
The syntax is:
boot [–adhlq] [[+] [HH:] [MM]] [annex_list] [filename] [warning]
When the RA 6300 reboots, it terminates all active connections.
If you try to boot software Release 8.0 and above on a unit
with less than 2 MB of system RAM, the Net, Load, and Status 8
indicators will flash until the Reset button is pressed.
If you try to boot with a non-existent image file name, the RA 6300
will hang as it searches for the image. You must press the Reset
button to recover.
