Note The only two options that must be set to support the boot IP address are inet on ethernet (e) and
gateway inet. The bootChange command operates only on the active card. If you are having
trouble bringing up a standby card, you can set the boot IP address with the sysChangeEnet
command as described in the “Troubleshooting Upgrade Problems” section in Appendix A,
“Downloading and Installing Software Upgrades.” If you set the boot IP address on the standby
card with the sysChangeEnet command and it is different from the IP address set with the
bootChange command on the active card, the standby card will start using the bootChange boot
IP address when the card reaches standby mode.
Step 3 Accept, clear, or change option values as necessary until the inet on ethernet option appears. Table 2-8
defines the options that you can change.
