Chapter 2 Specifying the CSS Boot Configuration
Booting the CSS from a Network Drive
Configuring Network Boot for a Passive SCM
To configure network boot for a passive SCM on the CSS 11503 or CSS 11506:
1. Configure an FTP record for the passive SCM, if not already configured (see
the “Configuring a Boot Configuration Record for the Passive SCM” section).
2. Make sure the passive SCM management port has access to the network drive
from which you are booting the CSS. If the primary SCM fails, the passive
SCM connects to the remote disk and loads the software configuration.
3. Configure the CSS to boot from a network drive. For example:
(config-boot)# passive primary boot-type boot-via-network
bootrecord
To display a list of configured FTP records, reenter the command and specify
the ? character. For example:
(config-boot)# passive primary boot-type boot-via-network
bootrecord ?
4. Optionally, configure a primary configuration path to allow multiple CSSs to
use the same boot image while keeping their configuration information in
separate directories. Your FTP daemon must support the drive mapping. Also,
the CSS must be able to access the configuration path through the FTP server
as defined in the FTP record. For example:
(config-boot)# primary config-path e:/adi_directory/
