The Bootfile - Black Box 16 port User Manual

The bootfile

If you wish to download basic configuration information to the unit you must create
a bootfile. This file is a text file formatted in a particular style; an example is shown
at An example bootfile on page 234.
Note The bootfile must be located on the same host as the bootptab file
An example
bootfile
Notes on the above example:
1. The bootfile can have line entries for other files, e.g. a software or configuration
file. The unit will download these files only if the filename has changed (excludes
the pathname).
2. The format of each line entry in the file is:
PARAMETER_NAME <white space> parameter value
<carriage return/line feed>
3. The parameter name must be in UPPER CASE and match exactly the strings
shown in An example bootfile on page 234; e.g. AUTH_TYPE.
4. An explanation of these parameters is shown in Bootfile parameters on page 235.
5. Include only those parameters which you want to configure. For example you
may not wish to download a configuration file, so omit the line beginning
CONFIG_FILE (or precede the line with a hash # character).
