When the CSS completes the current boot process, it:
• Accesses the network file system containing the boot image
• Boots the CSS using the boot image you specified
Specifying FTP as the Secondary Boot Record
Select FTP as the secondary boot record value when you want to upgrade the CSS
software on the CSS disk. The CSS accesses the ADI or GZIP file containing the
CSS software from an FTP server, copies it to the disk, and unpacks the software.
Then the CSS boots from disk (hard or Flash disk).
Make sure you properly connect the Ethernet management port on the CSS to the
network:
• CSS 11503 or CSS 11506 - SCM 10 Mbps-Ethernet management port
• CSS 11501 - Front panel 10 Mbps-Ethernet management port
When you select FTP, the CSS prompts you for the boot image filename and FTP
information.
1. Enter a valid FTP pathname, if required. For example:
Enter the boot image filename: /ftpimages/sg0720104
Enter FTP Server IP address: 10.3.6.58
Enter FTP Server authentication user name: mandy
Enter FTP Server authentication password: fred
The CSS queries if you want to access the boot image directly from the disk
at the next reboot (that is, the next time you reboot the CSS after completing
the current boot process).
Boot from Disk at next reboot? y/n
2. Enter one of the following:
• y to copy the boot image from the FTP server to the disk. The CSS
accesses the boot image directly from the disk at next reboot. The CSS
also changes the information in the secondary boot record to Disk.
• n to FTP the boot image from the FTP server at next reboot.
3. Press Enter to display the Boot Configuration menu.
Press <Enter> to continue...
4. Enter r to display the Offline DM Main menu.
