Memory Test Bypass
Table 4-3 IP Addressing Parameters
IP Option
Meaning
Client IP address
The IP address of the communications server. This parameter is
required if Local Information is specified for address discovery
protocol; otherwise, this address is obtained by BOOTP or RARP.
Server IP address
The IP address of the RBCS or TFTP/FTP server the
communications server boots from. BOOTP requests are sent to
this address. If this address is not specified, BOOTP requests are
sent to the broadcast address.
Gateway IP address
If the communications server boots from an RBCS or TFTP/FTP
server on another network, enter the IP address of the gateway.
If booting across a gateway, you must specify both client and
server IP address parameters.
Subnet mask value
The subnet mask value, if subnet masking is being used. If this
parameter is not entered, its value is obtained from BOOTP.
FAP server address
If booting from a TFTP server, enter the IP address of the RBCS
or FTP server that stores configuration files for the
communications server software.
IP security option
Determines the classification protection level as specified in
RFC 1038:
1 - don't care (default)
2 - Unclassified
3 - Confidential
4 - Secret
5 - Top Secret
6 - Other
TFTP upload path
The pathname to which to upload a memory image from the
communications server to the RBCS or TFTP/FTP server. If
specified, this is the pathname used when performing memory
dumps to the network.
This parameter configures the server to perform the complete set or a
shortened version of self-tests and diagnostics (omitting memory tests) at
power-on or reset. The shortened version reduces the duration of the
startup process (self-tests, diagnostics, and boot) to about 2 minutes if the
boot source is a network or about 4 minutes if the boot source is a diskette.
Although setting the Memory Test Bypass parameter to "Enable" reduces the
server's startup time, 3Com recommends maintaining the default setting of
"Disable" to detect memory failures.
