Chapter 3 ROM Monitor Commands
This chapter describes the ROM Monitor commands. Access these
commands through a terminal connected to the console port (Port 1)
when the Remote Annex 2000 is in test mode.
Pressing the button within 3 seconds of powering up
puts the Remote Annex 2000 into test mode. To enter test mode
when the unit is already running, hold down the button
until the Power LED blinks rapidly, then release the
button and press it again within 3 seconds. This second method
resets the unit, so warn users before you do it.
If you try to access the ROM monitor and receive a password
prompt, contact your system administrator. The ROM monitor
is password protected.
The ROM Monitor commands allow you to set a subset of the
configuration (EEPROM) parameters. Some of these parameters, like
the unit’s IP address, are sometimes required for booting the Remote
Annex 2000; some parameters, like the broadcast address, are
required if the network configuration differs from the supplied
defaults.
Table 3-1 lists the ROM Monitor commands.
Other parameters, although not required, are recommended for the
Remote Annex 2000’s initial boot. Setting these parameters, rather
than using the assigned defaults, minimizes errors during the initial
boot. For example, setting the parameter that defines the preferred
load host enables the Remote Annex 2000 to load by requesting
assistance from a specific host, rather than by broadcasting that
request to all hosts on the subnet.
After the Remote Annex has booted, you can define the same
parameters you defined using the ROM monitor using the na utility,
the local CLI admin command, or SNMP (for more details, see the
Remote Annex Administrator’s Guide for UNIX).
