C.11.6 Using Command Line Switches
You can add command line switches in the field Boot File.
¾
To use a Command Line Switch, take these 4 steps:
1. In the field Boot File, leave the file name defined in the field as it is (e.g.,
ramxxx.cmp).
2. Place your cursor after cmp.
3. Press the space bar.
4. Type in the switch you require.
Example: ‘ramxxx.cmp –fb’ to burn flash memory.
‘ramxxx.cmp -fb -em 4’ to burn flash memory and for Ethernet Mode 4 (auto-negotiate).
Table C-1 lists and describes the switches that are available:
Table C-1: Command Line Switch Descriptions
Switch Description
-fb Burn ram.cmp in flash (only for cmp files)
-em # Use this switch to set Ethernet mode.
0 = 10 Base-T half-duplex
1 = 10 Base-T full-duplex
2 = 100 Base-TX half-duplex
3 = 100 Base-TX full-duplex
4 = auto-negotiate (default)
For detailed information on Ethernet interface configuration, refer to Section
9.1 on page 247.
This parameter is used to:
Note: This switch takes effect only from the next gateway reset.
-br
Set the number of BootP requests the gateway
sends during start-up. The gateway stops
sending BootP requests when either BootP reply
is received or number of retries is reached.
1 = 1 BootP retry, 1 second
2 = 2 BootP retries, 3 seconds
3 = 3 BootP retries, 6 seconds
4 = 10 BootP retries, 30 seconds
5 = 20 BootP retries, 60 seconds
6 = 40 BootP retries, 120 seconds
7 = 100 BootP retries, 300 seconds
15 = BootP retries indefinitely
Set the number of DHCP packets the gateway
sends.
After all packets were sent, if there's still no reply,
the gateway loads from flash.
1 = 4 DHCP packets
2 = 5 DHCP packets
3 = 6 DHCP packets (default)
4 = 7 DHCP packets
5 = 8 DHCP packets
6 = 9 DHCP packets
7 = 10 DHCP packets
15 = 18 DHCP packets
-bs Use –bs 1 to enable the Selective BootP mechanism.
Use –bs 0 to disable the Selective BootP mechanism.
The Selective BootP mechanism (available from Boot version 1.92) enables the gateway’s integral
BootP client to filter unsolicited BootP/DHCP replies (accepts only BootP replies that contain the text
‘AUDC’ in the vendor specific information field). This option is useful in environments where
enterprise BootP/DHCP servers provide undesired responses to the gateway’s BootP requests.
-be Use -be 1 for the device to send device-related initial startup information (such as board type,
current IP address, software version) in the vendor specific information field (in the BootP request).
This information can be viewed in the main screen of the BootP/TFTP, under column 'Client Info‘
(refer to Figure
C-1 showing BootP/TFTP main screen with the column 'Client Info' on the extreme
right). For a full list of the vendor specific Information fields, refer to Section 7.3.2 on page 214.
Note: This option is not available on DHCP servers.
