3.
From the boot prompt enter the
set
command and note the image name displayed for
bootsource
.
For example:
4.
Enter the following line to reboot the RS:
...
mfg_loop_by = time [time count]
mfg_loop_max = 86400
bootdelay = 2
autoboot = boot
promsetaddrs = 1
netaddr = 134.152.179.132
bootaddr = 0.0.0.0
netmask = 255.255.255.224
gateway = 134.152.179.129
bootsource = /pc-flash/boot/ros80
< This is the image name for this example >
ethaddr = 00:00:1d:12:34:56
(ethaddr is base MAC addr, add one for actual CPU MAC address)
