3. Select option 4 to Boot through the IP gateway. In this procedure, the
router on the local LAN can boot from a boot server that is not connected
directly. Instead, the path to the boot server can include other networks
(including the WAN, if adequate routers exist). The gateway must be located
on the local LAN and be reachable by the local router.
4. On the model 5950, 5930 and 5935, you can boot from either of two files in
flash memory. This can be used to run a test kernel and back up the previous
version. Thus, if you select option 5, you see this prompt:
Option 6: Set Time and Date
Select option 6 to set the current time and date. Set the new date in the format mm[/
dd[/yy (or yyyy)]]. Set the new time in military format hh[:mm[:ss]]). You are shown the
current date and time.
NOTE:
Your router is Y2K compliant. If you choose to enter only two digits to specify the year,
values greater than 93 translate to 19xx. Values less or equal to 93 translate to 20xx.
The router has a one-hundred-year date range (from 1994 to 2093).
If the date is set to zero (0/0/00), the real-time clock is disabled for long-term storage.
When the router is configured by a PC, the GUI overwrites the time and date fields.
The router time and date values are copied from the PC time and date values.
Option 7: Set Console Baud Rate
Select option 7 to alter the baud rate that the router uses to communicate over the
console port with a terminal emulation program. You can override the default rate of
9600. Remember to set the identical baud rate in your terminal emulation program.
Option 8: Start Extended Diagnostics
Select option 8 to run extended diagnostics. Boot diagnostics are only available on
routers with the MC68EN360 processor. These diagnostics run automatically when
you power up or reboot the router. You may want to run extended diagnostics if you
suspect a hardware problem.
When you select option 8, the following menu is displayed:
Enter the number of each test that you would like to run, or select all tests (+). Then
enter . (period) to begin diagnostic testing.
Enter the file name you want to boot from [kernel.f2k]:
Enter the file name after the prompt (for example, test.bin).
