Load Server Host Not Responding - Cabletron Systems MicroMMAC 22ES Installation Manual

• Unless otherwise stated, if you are using a SLIP interface to boot the
Micro-CS, 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 Micro-CS's software and
the address of the preferred load server host can be defaulted. If the value
for the image name is incorrect, the Micro-CS 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 Micro-CS has to
broadcast for a host. Correct the load host's address using the addr
command.
Confirm that the Micro-CS boot parameters are correct by using the
appropriate ROM Monitor commands. Modify any boot parameters that
are incorrect or missing. Boot the Micro-CS either by entering the boot
command at the console, or by pressing the SETUP switch approximately
3 seconds to generate a reset, followed by an automatic boot.

LOAD SERVER HOST NOT RESPONDING

The Micro-CS can boot from one of four types of hosts acting as a load
server host:
• A UNIX host on the local area network.
• A UNIX host at the end of a SLIP interface.
• Another Micro-CS.
• Any host (UNIX or non-UNIX, using tftp).
The following sections discuss troubleshooting for each of these load
server hosts.
