Configuring the Boot Network

Boot network parameters define the protocols and IP address information for SPIO interfaces used to reach
the external network server that hosts the operating system software image file. To configure boot network
parameters, make sure you are at the Exec mode prompt:
[local]
Step 1 Enter the Global Configuration mode by entering the following command:
host_name
[local]
The following prompt appears:
host_name
[local]
Step 2 Enter the following command:
host_name
[local]
ip_address24 [ spio25 ip_address25 ] netmask subnet_mask [ gateway gw_ip_address ] } }
For complete information about the above command, see the Global Configuration Mode Commands chapter of the
Command Line Interface Reference.
The following command configures the boot network to communicate using DHCP, with a static-fallback IP address for
SPIO in slot 24 of 192.168.206.101 and a Class C netmask.
boot networkconfig dhcp-static-fallback ip address spio24 192.168.206.101 netmask 255.255.255.0

Booting a dual-SMC chassis with SPIO port redundancy enabled requires that both SMCs have CFE1.1.0
or greater in flash. If CFE1.1.0 or greater is not present on both cards, the standby SMC may not be able
to boot from the network in certain circumstances.
