To validate an invalid CRC, an operating system utility must be used, or, alternatively, the “-f”
option of the “bw” command must be issued.
5.4.3.2 CBL
This command is used to set or display the bootline associated with a particular kernel image
or which is common to all images.
5.4.3.3 DHCP
This command is used to obtain automatically networking parameters from either a dhcp or
bootp server for the Ethernet port FCC1 (FE). Its use requires the availability of one or the other
of these servers to function.
5.4.3.4 NET
This command is used to set or display the parameters for the configuration of the Fast
Ethernet interface of the CPU board. The Fast Ethernet interface is only available after these
settings have been made. Once these settings have been made, the system must be cold
started or reset for them to take effect.
5.4.3.5 PASSWD
This command is used to set the password used by the NetBootLoader for the operation of the
telnet interface. No password is required for access from the TERM interface.
5.4.3.6 PF
This command is used to set the port parameters for the TERM and SER0 serial interfaces only
for the current operator session. The next system restart will cause these settings to revert to
the default settings of: 9600 Baud, 8 bits per character, 1 stop bit, and no parity. This is done
to preclude a system lockout when restarting due to incompatible settings.
5.4.3.7 SCRIPT
This command permits the automatic invoking of NetBootLoader commands during boot up.
The operator issues this command with appropriate options and then restarts the system. Dur-
ing the boot operation at boot wait time expiration, the "script" commands will be executed.
Use of this command permits, for example, remote booting from an tftp server.
5.4.3.8 SQ
This command is used to set or display the order in which application images are to be booted.
The NetBootLoader provides the capability to program up to four application images into the
FLASH. With this command the operator can define the order in which images may be used
when the system is booted. This provides operational flexibility as well as the possibility for the
system to compensate for a defective image.
Warning !!!
Using the “bw -f” command to validate invalid entries may adversely impact the
operation of the operating system.
