CONFIGURATION GUIDE RELEASE 22.9.R1
Boot options
DHCP requests on the next port in the list based on a specific order, looping through all the ports until a
successful response is received from the server, or the user interrupts the boot process.
• When using auto-init with partial BOF configuration, the user has the option to either stop auto-init by
logging in to the node and using the console to run the admin>auto-init stop command or let auto-init
continue.
• The user can intervene to stop auto-init at any time when auto-init is in progress. The system logs the
progress of auto-init. The system emits the LED light until auto-init is complete or when the user stops
the auto-init process.
4.5 Resetting the node to the factory default setting
From Release 4.0 onward, you can use the bof>bof-password command to modify the factory default
BOF password password.
The user must enter the correct BOF password to edit the BOF parameters. If the incorrect password is
entered three times consecutively, the system prompts the user, after the third attempt, to reset the BOF
password to the factory default.
If the user chooses not to reset the BOF password, the system prompts the user to enter the password
again. If the user chooses to reset the password to factory default, the system also resets the flash to
factory defaults (removes all files from the flash drive, except the boot image file (cf1:\boot.tim)
and TiMOS image file (cf1:\both.tim)) as a security measure to prevent malicious access to the
configuration file.
After password reset, the node is rebooted with the factory default settings; the BOF parameters are also
set to default values. The user must now setup the box using the same steps that were used during first-
time boot up of the factory-shipped box. After the system boots up with this setup, use the factory default
password "password" to edit the BOF parameters, and use the bof>bof-password command to change
the password again.
Note:
• The BOF password can be changed from the default value to any other user-defined value
only at the TiMOS level.
•
Nokia strongly recommends that the user should not rename cf1:\boot.tim and cf1:\
both.tim if the system needs to retain them during the password recovery procedure.
• Nokia strongly recommends that the user should retain a backup copy of all the image files,
configuration files, and other data.
Example
The following sample logs show the system console prompts that are displayed when the user forgets the
password and chooses to reset the password to the factory default setting. The BOF contents before and
after the reset are also displayed.
Note:
The BOF parameters are set to default values after a password reset.
