5.7 Switching the Software Booting Mode
In Ethernet Connection Blade, it has bundled two kinds of firmware version with three operational
modes, including switch, End-Host-Mode and IBP mode. It could only be running in one mode at a time.
In order to run the other mode, you have to change the booting mode and reboot the Ethernet
Connection Blade.
To change the software mode:
1. Enter (CB)#boot-system mode command to specify which software version running on the device
after next reboot.
2. To change next booting software mode to IBP, use (CB)#boot-system mode IBP
3. To change next booting software mode to Switch, use (CB)#boot-system mode switch
4. To change next booting software mode to End-Host-Mode, use (CB)#boot-system mode EHM
The change will be affected through a power cycle or a software reboot cycle.

The Connection blade will boot with the default startup configuration stored for the
respective firmware. e.g. IBP boots with ibp configuration and Switch/EHM boots with
switch configuration. There is no relation between these two configurations.

To change the mode between switch and End-Host-Mode (EHM), a system reboot is
required immediately.
