Common Configuration Tasks
The following sections are basic system tasks that must be performed.
• Searching for the BOF
→ Accessing the CLI
- Console Connection
• Configuring BOF Parameters
For details about hardware installation and initial router connections, refer to the specific 
router hardware installation guide.
Searching for the BOF
The BOF should be on the same drive as the boot loader file. If the system cannot load or 
cannot find the BOF then the system checks whether the boot sequence was manually 
interrupted. The system prompts for a different image and configuration location.
