Bootloader CLI and ScanTool
The Bootloader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI that is used to perform initial configuration of the device. The
Bootloader CLI is available when the device embedded software is not running.
This interface is only accessible through the serial interface, and used when:
•
The device does not contain a software image.
•
An existing image is corrupted.
•
An automatic (default) download of image over TFTP has failed.
The Bootloader CLI provides the ability to configure the initial setup parameters; and depending on this configuration, a
software file is downloaded to the device during startup.
The Bootloader CLI supports the following commands.
•
factory_reset: Restores the factory settings
•
help: Prints online help
•
reboot: Reboots the device
•
set: Sets the parameters
•
show: Shows the parameters
The Bootloader CLI supports the following parameters (for viewing and modifying).
•
ipaddr: IP Address
•
systemname: System Name
•
gatewayip: Gateway IP Address
•
serverip: Server IP Address
•
ipaddrtype: IP Address Type
•
netmask: Net Mask
•
filename: Image file name (including the file extension)
If the Bootloader fails to load the firmware from flash, it tries to get the firmware from the network. While trying to get
firmware from the network, the device should be powered on using Ethernet interface of the device. The default
configuration of the Bootloader parameters are as follows:
To load the Firmware from the Network
Use the show command to view parameters and their value, and use the set command to set the parameters value.
To load the Firmware by using Dynamic IP Parameters
1. Set the ipaddrtype to dynamic
