IP Server
• Set up an IP server and ensure connectivity.
The server that holds the boot and configuration files must be configured as the network source for the
system. By default, the necessary files are stored in the
/tftpboot directory. However, the system also
recognizes HTTP, FTP, Flash, and USB URLs. For example:
• tftp://server ip or name/filename
• ftp://user:passwd@serverip or name//mypath/FTOS-A.B.C.D.bin
• flash://filename
• usbflash://FTOS-1.2.3.4.bin
• http://server ip
• name/filename
When loading the FTOS image, if the FTOS image on the server is different from the image on the local
flash, the system downloads the image from the server onto the local flash and reloads using that image. If
it is the same image, the system reloads from the flash without downloading a new image.
Domain Name Server
• Set up a DNS server. For more information, refer to the FTOS Configuration Guide IPv4 Addressing
chapter.
You must configure the Domain Name Server to determine the hostname for applying the configuration to
the system when the DHCP offer does not have a configuration file specified. The DNS server is contacted
only when there is no configuration file specified in the DHCP offer and hostname is not resolved from
network-config file.
option routers code 3 = ip-address;
subnet 30.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
range 30.0.1.17 30.0.1.100;
option tftp-server-address 30.0.0.1; (IP address)
Boot file location IP address
option tftp-server-address "Guest-1" (DNS)
option domain-name-servers 30.0.0.1;
option routers 30.0.0.14;
DNS server hostname
)
Note: The boot file name and configuration file name must be in the correct format. If it is not, the
jump-start reload is unable to download the file from the DHCP server, and it behaves as if the server
could not be reached. The discovery process continues, despite configured time-out, until you enter the
stop jump-start command.
