Summary of the Boot Sequence with a BootP Server

893-743-A
This section summarizes the Model 281xSA hub boot sequence if a BootP
server is present and the boot file, BOOTPTAB.TXT, and Model 281xSA
configuration file, 281sa100.cfg, are correctly configured on the load server.
Given these conditions, you need not manually configure the Model 281xSA
hub via the service port; the hub automatically obtains its IP configuration
parameters via the BootP server and obtains its IPX parameters via the IPX file
server.
The factory default settings for the Model 281xSA hub are:
Boot Mode = Network
Boot Protocol = Auto
Image Load Mode = Remote w/Local
Management protocol = IP_IPX
Configuration load mode = Remote w/Local
Read community = public
Write community = private
The first time the Model 281xSA hub is powered on, it uses these settings to
perform the following boot sequence:
1. The Model 281xSA hub performs a diagnostic self-test and displays the
results on the terminal screen connected to the service port (if one is
connected).
2. The screen connected to the service port displays the message:
DCE#1 Trying BOOTP...
while the Model 281xSA hub sends a broadcast message looking for its
booting parameters.
3. The BootP server sends the booting parameters to the Model 281xSA hub.
4. If there is no response from the BootP server, the Model 281xSA hub
issues IPX "Find Nearest Server" SAP (service access protocol) frames to
learn the IPX network number. The connected screen displays:
DCE#1 Trying SAP...
