BOOTP request and the name of the boot software to a specified
boot server. This is useful if the boot server being used does not
support the use of a bootptab file.
It runs tests on hardware and provides diagnostic information.
Note
Loading software to the switch in Maintenance Mode
should only be done as a last resort. This is because the soft-
ware and configuration already resident in the flash memory
is overwritten and lost.
Consider these points when using Maintenance Mode:
The switch is not operational and the expansion board ports can-
not be used.
Only simple command-line access is possible via the Console
port.
There is a delay before you see the command prompt; this is due
to a hardware test routine being completed.
To enter Maintenance Mode:
1
Using a pointed tool — such as a bent paper clip, press the
Reset button on the front of the switch and hold it until the
SYSTEM LED flashes green quickly (five times per second).
2
Release the Reset button.
3
Attach a VT100-compatible terminal to the serial port on the
front panel using the cable supplied.
4
To display the command prompt on screen, press the Enter key
a couple of times.
