Specifying FTP as the Primary Boot Record
Note
OL-5647-02
Select option 4 to reboot the CSS.
5.
When the CSS completes the current boot process, it:
Accesses the network file system containing the boot image
•
Boots the CSS using the boot image you specified
•
Select FTP as the primary boot record when you want to upgrade the CSS
software on the CSS disk. The CSS accesses the ADI or GZIP file containing the
CSS software from an FTP server, copies it to the disk, and unpacks the software.
Then the CSS boots from disk (hard or Flash disk).
Make sure that you properly connect the Ethernet management port on the CSS to
the network. Note the locations of the Ethernet management port on the CSS as
listed below.
CSS 11503 and CSS 11506 - SCM 10 Mbps-Ethernet management port
•
CSS 11501 - Front panel 10 Mbps-Ethernet management port
•
When you select FTP, the CSS prompts you for the boot image filename and FTP
information.
The CSS FTP server supports only the active (normal) FTP mode of operation.
The FTP server does not support the passive FTP mode of operation.
Enter a valid FTP pathname, if required. For example:
1.
Enter the boot image filename: /ftpimages/sg0730003
Enter FTP Server IP address: 10.3.6.58
Enter FTP Server authentication user name: mandy
Enter FTP Server authentication password: fred
The CSS queries if you want to access the boot image directly from the disk
at the next reboot (that is, the next time you reboot the CSS after completing
the current boot process).
Boot from Disk at next reboot? y/n
