Configuration And Image Loading - Alcatel-Lucent 7210 SAS M Configuration Manual

cf1:\*TIMOS*\both.tim) . After successful bootup using the Timos image found on the local flash,
user has the option to either continue using the same image by entering the command 'admin auto
init stop" within a fixed amount of time as prompted on the screen. If the user executes this
command, then a BOF is created and saved on the local flash with the image location pointing to
the image on the flash. If the user does not execute this command, then the system reboots again
attempting to find an image through the auto-init process (that is, sending out DHCP requests).

Configuration and Image Loading

The bootstrap image processes the initialization parameters from the BOF. The bootstrap image
attempts to locate the configuration file as configured in the BOF. Up to three locations can be
configured for the system to search for the configuration file. The locations can be local or remote.
The first location searched is the primary configuration location. If not found, the secondary
configuration location is searched, and lastly, the tertiary configuration location is searched. If the
configuration file is in a remote location, the bootstrap process saves it on the flash as cf1:/
default.cfg. Users must not delete this file or create a file with this name. The configuration file
includes chassis, IOM, MDA, and port configurations, as well as system, routing, and service
configurations. Like the configuration file, three locations can be configured for the system to
search for the files that contains the runtime image. The locations can be local or remote. The first
location searched is the primary image location. If not found, the secondary image location is
searched, and lastly, the tertiary image location is searched.

NOTE: The description for configuration and Image loading that appears in the section and the
following ones applies to all the 7210 SAS platforms with the following exceptions:
The following diagrams and paragraphs provide details of how the 7210 platform boot up on
power ON, how it obtains the Timos image file, the BOF file, the configuration file loads, the
image, and the configuration file to bring up the platform.

, and Figure 10 describe the bootstrap process.
−
On 7210 SAS-R6, only manual mode using OOB port/ethernet management port is
supported. Obtaining IP and other parameters using DHCP with the OOB port is not
supported. Auto-init is not supported on 7210 SAS-R6.
−
On 7210 SAS-M/X/T, both manual mode and auto-init mode is supported.
