BOF Configuration Overview
Alcatel-Lucent routers do not contain a boot EEPROM. The boot loader code is loaded from
the boot.ldr file. The BOF file performs the following tasks:
Step 1. Sets up the CPM/CCM Ethernet port (speed, duplex, auto).
Step 2. Assigns the IP address for the CPM/CCM Ethernet port.
Step 3. Creates static routes for the CPM/CCM Ethernet port.
Step 4. Sets the console port speed.
Step 5. Configures the Domain Name System (DNS) name and DNS servers.
Step 6. Configures the primary, secondary, tertiary configuration source.
Step 7. Configures the primary, secondary, and tertiary image source.
Step 8. Configures operational parameters.
Basic BOF Configuration
The parameters which specify location of the image filename that the router will try to boot
from and the configuration file are in the BOF.
