4.10 Configuring Boot File Options with CLI
This section provides information to configure BOF parameters with CLI.
4.10.1 BOF Configuration Overview
Nokia routers do not contain a boot EEPROM. The bootstrap image is loaded from
the boot.tim file. The BOF performs the following tasks.
1. sets up the uplink ports or the Ethernet management port (speed, duplex, auto)
(only on platforms that support the Ethernet management port)
2. assigns the IP address (either statically or using DHCP) for the uplink/Ethernet
management port
3. assigns the VLAN to the uplink port
4. creates static routes to provide network connectivity
5. sets the console port speed
6. configures the Domain Name System (DNS) name and DNS servers
7. configures the primary, secondary, tertiary configuration source
8. configures the primary, secondary, and tertiary image source
9. configures operational parameters
4.10.2 Basic BOF Configuration
The parameters that specify the location of the image filename that the router will try
to boot from and the configuration file are in the BOF.
The most basic BOF configuration should have the following:
• uplink port or Ethernet management port parameters
• primary image location
• primary configuration location
The following output is an example of a basic BOF configuration.
