Primary Boot Configuration Considerations

Note
OL-5647-02
For example, to configure the primary boot-type to boot-via-disk, enter:
(config-boot)# primary boot-type boot-via-disk
To remove the primary boot type, enter:
(config-boot)# no primary boot-type
When you select primary boot-type boot-via-ftp or primary boot-type
boot-via-network, make sure you properly connect the Ethernet Management
port on the CSS to the network. The locations of the Ethernet Management port
on the CSS are 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 primary boot-type boot-via-network, make sure you:
• Locate the remote system on the network where you will copy the CSS
software.
Make sure the CSS can access the system via FTP.
–
Copy the CSS software Zip file from www.cisco.com onto the designated
–
network server.
Create a directory and unzip the file in to the directory. This directory
–
will contain all of the boot files and directories.
Create an FTP record on the CSS to the directory that contains the CSS
•
software on the network drive. Refer to
Software, for details on creating an FTP record.
Be aware of the following network boot restrictions: a network boot is not
supported on UNIX workstations, and the War-FTP daemon is not supported for
network-booting the system software.
A network boot requires that the CSS contains an operational disk.
