Correcting CSMIM2 Parameters

The following parameters must accurately reflect both the CSMIM2 and
the network environment in which it operates:
• Verify the CSMIM2's Internet address using the addr command.
• If your network configuration does not support the factory defaults,
verify the following parameters using the addr command:
- The broadcast address.
- The subnet mask.
- The load/dump gateway address (which must be specified if the
preferred load server host is located on another network or
subnet).
- The IP encapsulation type. Many systems have hardware Ethernet
interfaces that are IEEE 802.3 compliant, but very few actually do
802.3 IP packet encapsulation. Use the default, Ethernet, unless
you know absolutely that your LAN does 802.2/802.3 IP packet
encapsulation.
• Unless otherwise stated, if you are using a SLIP interface to boot the
CSMIM2, verify the following using the slip command:
- The port is configured as a SLIP interface.
- The Internet address for the SLIP network interface.
- The Internet address for the remote end of the SLIP connection.
- The Internet address for the load/dump host (this must be specified
if the remote end is a gateway and not a load host).
- The SLIP network interface is included in the load/dump interface
list (use the sequence command).
Both the name of the image file containing the CSMIM2's software, and
the address of the preferred load server host can be defaulted. If the value
for the image name is incorrect, the CSMIM2 cannot boot. Correct the
name using the image command. If the address for the preferred load
server host is incorrect, the boot takes longer, since the CSMIM2 has to
broadcast for a host. Correct the load host's address using the addr
command.
