Boot Command Options
The following table lists the command options you can select for the boot
command:
Option Definition Associated Options
B This command, without an argument,
starts a new boot sequence to load the
access server with an executable image
using the default boot parameters.
-
B name This command and the argument
name specifies a nonstandard boot
image. The access server looks for the
software name; first from Flash RAM,
then from the network.
B MNENG — This command instructs
the access server to look for the
MNENG2 software image first in Flash
RAM, then from the network.
b /tftp/serversw — This command
instructs the access server to look for
image /TFTP/SERVERSW; first in
Flash RAM, then from the network. If
you want lowercase letters, you have
to use quotation marks. For example:
b "/tftp/serversw"
B "" — This command and the
quotation marks (explicit null name)
instruct the access server to search for
any image in Flash RAM. If the access
server is unable to find an image in
Flash RAM, then it loads from the
network. The network load host
defines this software and is typically
based on the Ethernet MAC address of
the access server.
