Configuring the Primary Boot-File
Use the primary boot-file command to specify the primary boot file. Enter the
primary boot file as an unquoted text string with no spaces and a maximum length
of 64 characters.
To specify the primary boot filename, enter:
(config-boot)# primary boot-file ap0500002
To display a list of boot filenames, enter:
(config-boot)# primary boot-file ?
To remove the primary boot file, enter:
(config-boot)# no primary boot-file
Configuring the Primary Boot-Type
Use the primary boot-type command to specify the primary boot method, either
from the local disk or using FTP. The syntax and options for this boot mode
command are:
• primary boot-type boot-via-disk - Boot the CSS from software currently on
the IDM.
• primary boot-type boot-via-ftp ftp_record - Download an ADI file
containing CSS software that you want to install on the IDM. The CSS
accesses the ADI or GZIP file containing the CSS software from an FTP
server, copies it to the IDM, and unpacks it.
• primary boot-type boot-via-network ftp_record - Use FTP to boot the CSS
from software located on a network-mounted file system on a remote system
(such as a PC or UNIX workstation). The CSS boots independently from the
IDM and loads the configuration into memory. Instead of the CSS disk, the
network file system contains the CSS software.
Enter the ftp_record as the name of the FTP record file that contains the FTP
server IP address, username, and password. Enter an unquoted text string with no
spaces.
For example, to configure the primary boot-type to boot-via-disk, enter:
(config-boot)# primary boot-type boot-via-disk
