Managing Software Loading Software from the Network
Here is an example:
6.
Enter the
set
command to view the changes.
Here is an example:
7.
From the Boot prompt, use the
ping
command to verify that the RS can reach the TFTP server.
8.
Reboot the RS. As the RS initializes, it ignores the software image on the PC card and retrieves its
operating software from the TFTP server at
134.152.176.5
.
Here is an example:
rs-boot> set netaddr <IPaddr>
rs-boot> set netmask <subnet-mask>
rs-boot> set gateway <IPaddr>
rs-boot> set bootsource <dir-filename>
rs-root> set bootaddr <IPaddr>
rs-boot> set netaddr 134.152.179.132
rs-boot> set netmask 255.255.255.224
rs-boot> set gateway 134.152.179.129
rs-boot> set bootsource /tftpboot/ros80
rs-boot> set bootaddr 134.152.176.5
rs-boot> set
...
netaddr = 134.152.179.132
autoboot = boot
netmask = 255.255.255.224
gateway = 134.152.179.129
bootsource = /tftpboot/ros80
bootaddr = 134.152.176.5
ethaddr = 00:00:1d:12:34:56
(ethaddr is base MAC addr, add one for actual CPU MAC address)
