Configuration Guide

For 7210 SAS platforms that support multiple explicit modes of operation (Table 1),
the operating mode must be configured in the Boot Option File (BOF) to ensure the
router boots up in the specified mode. For example, the 7210 SAS-M supports
access-uplink and network modes of operation, and the 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE
supports satellite, standalone, and standalone-VC mode of operations. In some
cases, the 7210 SAS router operates in a specific mode implicitly, and explicit
configuration is not required.
Refer to the appropriate Basic System Configuration Guide for boot options and
information about how to boot the 7210 SAS platform in a specific operating mode.
Table 1 lists the supported modes of operation and the configuration methods for the
7210 SAS platforms. Unless explicitly noted otherwise, the operating mode is
supported on all variants of the specific 7210 SAS platform.
