Manual Mode

If the user opts for the manual-mode boot procedure for the first time boot, the required parameters

must be specified for a successful system boot. Manual mode configurations require

authentication. The default password is password. BOF parameters that should be configured

include:

• Image path

• Configuration file path

• UplinkA parameters (port number, vlan ID, IP/mask, static route)

• UplinkB parameters (port number, vlan ID, IP/mask, static route)

• eth-mgmt-disable

NOTE: UplinkA and UplinkB parameters are available on 7210 SAS-M/T/X platforms. Reference

to uplink ports below apply to these platforms. It is not available on 7210 SAS-R6. On 7210 SAS-

R6, on the out-of-band ethernet management port can be used to retrieve the image and config file

from the network.

Provisions to configure two uplinks is given in the BOF for port redundancy. If the image path and

configuration file path are local, then the IP address and routing information for uplinkA and

uplinkB are not required. The user can optionally obtain IP parameters through DHCP by

configuring 0 (zero) for the uplink port’s IP address. In this case, the DHCP server should be

configured to grant the IP address and the default gateway information used to reach the server

where the image and configuration files are present. After the BOF configuration is completed, a

BOF with configured parameters is created in the flash that can be used for subsequent reboots.

The bootstrap image then processes the BOF parameters in order to boot the system. BOF

processing is explained in Configuration and Image Loading on page 125.

The eth-mgmt-disable parameter indicates if the out-of-band Ethernet management port is

enabled during the boot-up procedure. For a 7210 node which has a previous BOF, the boot

process uses the existing parameters for uplink A and uplink B ports to boot the TIMOS image.

The OOB port is disabled, by default. The user has an option to enable ethernet management port

and use it for booting up the system.
