Configuring Boot Network Delay Time - Cisco ASR 5000 Series Administration Manual

Software Management Operations
The next example uses static IP addresses for MIO/UMIO/MIO2 in slot 5, which can access the external network server
through a gateway whose IP address is 135.212.10.2.

Configuring Boot Network Delay Time

An optional delay period, in seconds, can be configured for systems booting from a network. The purpose of
this parameter is to allow time for external devices, such as switches, that use the Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP) to determine the network route to a specified IP address.
To configure a boot network delay, enter the following command from the Global Configuration mode prompt.
[local]
Where time is an integer from 1 to 300 seconds before attempting to contact the external network server. If
your network uses STP, a typical delay time of 30 seconds should suffice.
Important
Configuring a Boot Nameserver
