If the PCMCIA/Floppy switch is in the PCMCIA setting, and you boot the router,
the following occurs:
1. The router boots from
1:ace.out if it is available. If not, it boots from
2:ace.out if it is available. If both are unavailable, a boot error occurs.
2. The router configures from
1:config if it is available. If not, it configures from
2:config if it is available. If both are unavailable, a configuration error occurs.
Booting After Crossnet Shutdown Notification (BayStream Only)
On BayStream platforms only, you can use the -shutdown option of the boot
command to boot the BayStream platform following a “graceful crossnet
shutdown.” With this option, the system notifies the remote end of any configured
frame relay switch (frsw) PVCs to expect a loss of connectivity. (The BayStream
software sends to the remote end of each PVC an update message packet with the
A-bit set to“inactive.”)
To initiate graceful shutdown followed by a system boot, enter the following
command at the Technician Interface prompt:
boot -shutdown <vol> : <image_name> <vol> : <config_name>
The console displays the following message during shutdown:
Shutdown in progress.
If shutdown succeeds, the console displays the message
Shutdown is complete.
Upon issuing this message, the system performs a boot operation using the image
and configuration files you specified originally.
If shutdown fails, the console displays the message
Continue shutdown? (Y/N)
