Troubleshooting BCP Command Examples
B-5
These commands set the Server’s address, the software loadfile, and the loadhost’s IP address (as well as
that of a backup loadhost). The server then reboots using the Flash command and will attempt to load the
file MSS4.SYS from the host at 192.0.1.188.
Flash
This command will force the MSS to download new operational code and reload it into Flash ROM.
This is necessary when a new version of software is released and you wish to upgrade your unit. If
the server cannot download the file, the code in Flash ROM will still be usable.
Flush NVR
This command is used to restore the MSS’s non-volatile RAM to its factory default settings. It will
reset everything that is configurable on the server, including the unit’s IP address.

Change Bootgateway
Specifies a server to send packets to when downloading code. The packets will be addressed to the
loadhost, but will be physically set to the bootgateway host.
Init 451
Reboots the MSS after it has been configured. If the MSS can find and load the specified software
loadfile, it will restart itself with full functionality. If the loadfile is not found, the server will
attempt to reload continuously. If there is an error, or if the console’s Return key is pressed, the
MSS will re-enter the Boot Configuration Program.
Change BOOTP {Enabled, Disabled}
Enables or disables the sending of BOOTP queries during the boot sequence. It is enabled by
default.
Change DHCP {Enabled, Disabled}
Enables or disables the sending of DHCP queries during the boot sequence. It is enabled by default.
Change Hardware xx-xx-xx
Specifies the last three numbers of the server’s Ethernet address. The first three numbers will be
supplied automatically.
The Ethernet address should have been set at the factory. Setting an incorrect address could cause
serious network problems.
Change IPAddress ip_address
Specifies this server’s IP address. Uses the standard numeric format.
Change Loadhost ip_address
Specifies the host to attempt to load the file from. The IP address should be in standard numeric
format (no text names are allowed).
Change RARP {Enabled, Disabled}
Enables or disables the sending of RARP queries during the boot sequence. It is enabled by default.
Change Secondary ip_address
Specifies a backup loadhost. The IP address should be in standard numeric format (no text names
are allowed). The backup loadhost will be queried if the primary host cannot load the server.
