boot
The boot command requests the loading of appropriate Remote Access
Concentrator operating software from a cooperating host on the network
or from Flash memory. The command syntax is:
boot [–lv | filename]
The boot command accepts a file name for the Remote Access
Concentrator’s image. If the file name is not specified, boot displays the
file name that was entered using the image command, and prompts for
one. If you do not provide a file name, or have not defined one for the
Remote Access Concentrator using the image command, boot requests
the default oper.64.enet file.
For more information on the image command, see “image”on
page 3-17.
The interface used for booting is determined by the sequence
command.When SELF is selected, the Remote Access Concentrator
checkstobesurethattheselectedimagematcheswhatisinFlashmemory.
If it matches, the image in Flash memory is decompressed and loaded
into RAM. If it doesn’t match, the Remote Access Concentrator uses the
next interface specified by the sequence command.
Formore information on the sequence command,see sequence
on page 3-22.
Typing the letter q or -C interrupts the boot.
A successful boot disables the ROM Monitor.
