Use the primary boot-type command to specify the location from which the CSS
accesses the primary boot image upon system reboot or when you download new
software.
The syntax for this boot mode command is:
primary boot-type [boot-via-disk|boot-via-ftp ftp_record|
boot-via-network ftp_record]
The options and variables for this command are as follows:
boot-via-disk - Boots the CSS from a software version that resides on the
•
CSS disk.
boot-via-ftp ftp_record - Downloads an ADI file containing CSS software
•
that you want to install on the CSS disk. The CSS accesses the ADI or GZIP
file containing the CSS software from an FTP server, copies the file to the
disk, and unpacks it. The CSS then boots from the disk.
boot-via-network ftp_record - Uses FTP to boot the CSS from software
•
located on a network-mounted file system on a remote system. Instead of the
CSS disk, the network file system contains the CSS software. The CSS boots
from this file system and loads the configuration in to memory.
Note A network boot requires that the CSS contains an operational disk.
The ftp_record variable is the name of the FTP record file that contains the FTP
server IP address, username, and password. Enter an unquoted text string with no
spaces. Refer to Chapter 1, Managing the CSS
an FTP record.
