B - 5
For example, a typical TCP/IP conÞguration might use the following
commands:
Figure B-1: BCP Command Examples
These commands set the MSS IP address, the software loadÞle, and the
loadhostÕs IP address (as well as that of a backup loadhost). The server then
reboots using the Flash command and will attempt to load the Þle MSS.SYS
from the host at 192.0.1.188.
The following commands are available from within the Boot ConÞguration
Program.
¥ Help displays a one-page summary of available commands and
what they do.
¥ Init 451 reboots the MSS after it has been conÞgured. It will restart
itself with full functionality. If it canÕt, the server will attempt to
reload continuously.
¥ Change option tailors your server conÞguration and is used with one
or more of the options listed below.
Ð BOOTP {Enabled, Disabled} enables or disables the sending
of BOOTP queries during the boot sequence. It is enabled by
default.
Ð DHCP {Enabled, Disabled} enables or disables the sending of
DHCP queries during the boot sequence. It is enabled by
default.
Ð Hardware xx-xx-xx specifies the last three numbers of the
serverÕs Ethernet address. The first three numbers will be
supplied automatically.
NOTE: The Ethernet address should have been set at the factory. Setting
an incorrect address could cause serious network problems.
