 Transparent mode: In this mode, the NPU transparently relays R6 and R8

reference-point traffic between AU/BSs (intra- or inter-shelf).

This section describes the commands to be used for:

 “Configuring the Next Boot Mode” on page 157

 “Displaying the Current and Next Boot Mode Information” on page 158

3.4.4.1 Configuring the Next Boot Mode

The next boot mode refers to the boot mode that should be used for booting up the

NPU the next time it is shut down or reset. The default boot mode is the ASN-GW

mode without HA support.

The following are the possible boot modes for operating the NPU:

 ASN-GW mode without HA support (does not implement MIP services)

 Transparent mode

To configure the next boot mode, run the following command:

npu(config)# nextbootmode {asngwStatic | transparent}

NOTE

To view the NPU current and next boot mode, refer to “Displaying the Current and Next Boot

Mode Information” on page 158

IMPORTANT

It is recommended that you run this command to specify the boot mode to be used after the next

NPU reset. If you do not specify the next boot mode, the NPU boots up using the last configured

boot mode. You must save the configuration (run the command npu# write) for a change in boot

mode to take effect after next reset.
