BOF Configuration Overview
Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-Series routers do not contain a boot EEPROM. The boot loader code is
loaded from the boot.ldr file. The BOF file performs the following tasks:
1. Sets up the CPM/ Ethernet port (speed, duplex, auto).
2. Assigns the IP address for the CPM/Ethernet port.
3. Creates static routes for the CPM/ Ethernet port.
4. Sets the console port speed.
5. Configures the Domain Name System (DNS) name and DNS servers.
6. Configures the primary, secondary, tertiary configuration source.
7. Configures the primary, secondary, and tertiary image source.
8. Configures operational parameters.
