The commands in this menu are of four types:
The m, p, t, i, and f commands set values for the parameters at the top
of the menu.
The j and x commands open submenus that configure the IP and IPX
operating parameters.
The k, z, e, g, and w commands initiate an action by the Model 281xSA
hub.
The c and b commands open submenus to configure the Model 281xSA
hub for booting.
To change a parameter value in the top section of the menu, type the letter that
corresponds to the parameter you want to change. Then type the new entry for
that item. To initiate one of the actions, simply type the letter of the desired
command.
See "Boot Configuration Commands" for a complete description of all the boot
configuration commands on the Boot main menu.
The Boot main menu includes the following commands:
m [Toggle boot mode] Shifts the boot mode between Network
and NVRAM. The factory default setting is Network.
When Network is selected, the Model 281xSA hub tries to acquire
its configuration over the network, using the protocol specified by
the p command [Toggle boot protocol].
When NVRAM is selected, the Model 281xSA hub configures
itself during power-on or reset using the parameter values obtained
from the NVRAM (if they exist).
NOTE: When NVRAM is selected as the boot mode, you must use
the menu selections to set or change the required parameters.
p [Toggle boot protocol] Shifts the boot protocol among Auto, IP,
IPX, and IP_IPX. The factory default setting is Auto.
