Start-up Procedures
When the switch starts up following either a power cycle or an operator-
initiated reboot (using the RESTART command), a series of start-up messages
is sent to the RS-232 Terminal Port (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Switch start-up messages
After the self tests are complete, the manager is given the option of forcing a
mandatory boot from the EPROM release. The message:
Force EPROM download (Y)?
is displayed on the terminal connected to the RS-232 Terminal Port and the
switch pauses. If a key is not pressed within a few seconds, the start-up process
will continue and all steps in the sequence will be executed.
