Table 18 describes the keywords used in ADP instructions. A DHCP offer message 
can contain a maximum of 15 instructions in either the Bootfile Name option, or in an 
external file referenced by the include keyword. If more than 15 instructions are 
included, ADP fails to complete and the system generates an error message in the 
ADP log.
5.1.2.4 Test and Commit
In order for ADP to be declared successful during the test and commit stage, the 
discovered configuration must contain an IP address. If the optional test-ip keyword 
is included in the ADP instructions, the node pings the IP address included in the 
DHCP OFFER message. If ADP is successful, the system stores the configuration 
and opens an SSH session to provide remote operators access to the router.
ADP can be controlled, without a connected PC or ASCII terminal, by the ACO/LT 
button on the Fan module. You can use the ACO/LT button to terminate or restart 
ADP, or reboot the chassis.
