Booting from the Network
5-8 Initializing the Access Server
Booting from the Network
Loading the Software Image
If your network server is configured with Flash RAM, but does not have the correct
image, the access server performs a network load.
Determining Boot Protocols
During the network boot sequence, the access server searches for a load host. The
access server tries both MOP and BOOTP protocols in a factory-defined order. The
boot sequence includes a wait period after passing through all the boot protocols. Once
the access server finds a load host, it records the protocol and load host in its permanent
database. The software is then downline loaded from the load host.
