152 APPENDIX B: RELOADING THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE
2 If you are using a TFTP server (without BOOTP), enter:
CL
The CL command allows you to configure the following settings:
1. Client
2. Server
3. Gateway
4. Subnet Mask
5. Boot Filename
6. Port Selection
7. Baud Rate
8. Duplex Mode
When addressing is configured using the CL command, you do not need
to use a BOOTP server to acquire addresses. If you do not use the
CL command, a BOOTP server must be available on the local LAN with an
entry in its database for this device.
3 If you are using a TFTP server without BOOTP, enter:
FL <path/>boot.68k
If you are using a TFTP/BOOTP server, enter:
FL
The FL command formats the flash memory and uses TFTP to copy the
image from the identified server to the flash drive.
If you are using BOOTP instead of locally configured addressing in the CL
command, you must not include the filename.
4 When the flash load is complete, confirm that boot.68k was copied onto
the bridge/router by entering:
DF /primary
If you do not see boot.68k, or if there is no /primary directory, contact
technical support.
5 Reset the bridge/router by pressing the Power switch on the back panel
off then on.
Load Errors During the software loading process, some hardware or software
conditions can cause the process to fail. For more information about load
errors, see Appendix A.
