CONFIGURATION GUIDE RELEASE 22.9.R1
Boot options
4.1.2.2 Manual mode
Manual mode has two options:
• Either use the starter BOF or configure the BOF to point to a local image to use the image files on the
flash that are shipped with the node.
• Configure the BOF to retrieve the image files from the network.
If the user opts for the manual mode boot procedure using the network to retrieve the images and
configuration for the first-time boot, the required parameters must be specified for a successful system
boot. Manual mode configurations require authentication. The default password is "password". BOF
parameters that should be configured include the following:
• image path
• configuration file path
• uplinkA parameters (port number, VLAN ID, IP/mask, static route)
• uplinkB parameters (port number, VLAN ID, IP/mask, static route)
• eth-mgmt-disable
Note:
The following caveats apply for manual mode on 7210 SAS platforms.
• UplinkA and uplinkB parameters are only supported on the 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-Sx/S
1/10GE operating in standalone mode, 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, and 7210 SAS-T.
• On the 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12, the out-of-band (OOB) Ethernet management port
can be used to retrieve the image and configuration file from the network.
• The auto-init mode is not supported on the 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE (standalone-VC),
7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12.
Provisions to configure two uplinks is supported in the BOF for port redundancy. If the image path and
configuration file path are local, the IP address and routing information for uplinkA and uplinkB is not
required. Optionally, the user can obtain IP parameters through DHCP by configuring 0 (zero) for the IP
address of the uplink port. In this case, the DHCP server should be configured to grant the IP address
and the default gateway information used to reach the server where the image and configuration files are
located. After the BOF configuration is complete, a BOF with configured parameters is created in the flash
that can be used for subsequent reboots. The bootstrap image then processes the BOF parameters to boot
the system. See Configuration file and TiMOS image loading for information about BOF processing.
The eth-mgmt-disable parameter indicates whether the out-of-band Ethernet management port is enabled
during the boot process. On a 7210 SAS node where a previous version of the BOF exists, the boot
process uses the existing parameter values for uplinkA and uplinkB ports to boot the TIMOS image. The
OOB port is disabled by default. The user has the option to enable the Ethernet management port and use
it to boot the system.
4.1.3 BOF and configuration file encryption
In cases where the 7210 SAS platform is not installed in a physically secure location, the user can encrypt
the BOF and the configuration file to halt or hinder interpretation of the contents of the file.
