The ProCurve Secure Router automatically enters the bootstrap mode context
if it cannot locate a valid Secure Router OS or if the Secure Router OS has
been corrupted. You can also access the bootstrap mode by pressing
the first five seconds of the startup process. During the startup process, the
screen will display a countdown, alerting you to how much time you have left
to access the bootstrap mode context.
You may want to access the bootstrap mode context if you need to replace
corrupted software, cannot remember the system password, or have made
configurations that have locked you out of the router. For security, the
bootstrap mode context is available only through the console port and cannot
be accessed through the Web browser interface.
When you enter the bootstrap mode context, this CLI prompt will display:
bootstrap#
The commands available in bootstrap mode are limited to those related to
helping you to successfully boot the router. The following is a list of some of
the bootstrap mode commands.
Boot. This command allows you to configure the software and configura-
tions booted by the router.
Syntax: boot [cflash <filename> | flash <filename> | config {flash | cflash} <filename>
| system {flash | cflash} <filename> | <filename>] [<backup boot file location> <backup
filename>]
To set the Secure Router OS software that you want the router to use to boot,
enter:
Syntax: boot system [flash | cflash] <filename> [<backup location> <backup file-
name>]
For example:
bootstrap# boot system cflash SROS.BIZ flash SROS.BIZ
To set the configuration file that you want the router to load, enter:
Syntax: boot config [flash | cflash] <filename>
For example:
bootstrap# boot config cflash startup-config flash startup-config.bak
