Cabletron Systems ESXMIM Installation Manual page 26

Chapter 3: Installation
Switch definitions are as follows:
• Switch 1: Cabletron Systems use only.
• Switch 2: Cabletron Systems use only.
• Switch 3: Not Used.
• Switch 4: Not Used.
• Switch 5: Cabletron Systems use only.
• Switch 6: Forced Download. Changing the state of this switch
(i.e., moving the switch from one position to another) clears download
information from Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM)
and forces a BOOTP download
After changing the position of switch 6 and restarting the ESXMIM,
the ESXMIM requests a new image download until it either receives a
new image or the reset button on the front panel is pressed. When the
reset button is pressed, the ESXMIM continues trying to contact a
BOOTP server, but will timeout in approximately one minute. If the
ESXMIM times out, the image is loaded from its FLASH memory.
Do NOT change the state of Switch 6 unless you have a station
NOTE
acting as a BOOTP server for the ESXMIM. This BOOTP
station must reference a station that is acting as a TFTP server
and that contains the ESXMIM image file. The ESXMIM will
request the location of the image file from the BOOTP server
and use the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) to download
that file from the TFTP server.
If one of these requirements is not met, the ESXMIM Forced
Download operation will not be completed correctly.
