Chapter 2 Configuring the Remote Annex 6300
Remote Annex 6300 Supplement to the Remote Annex Administrator’s Guide for UNIX
Book A
The RA 6300 can dump to a file server or a host running tftp. The
RA 6300 performs a dump upon receipt of either the na command
dumpboot or the superuser CLI boot –d command, or automatically
when it detects fatal internal errors or failures.
Setting the Preferred Load Host
The pref_load_addr parameter specifies the preferred load (or file
server) host. This is the host from which the RA 6300 first requests a
down-line load of its operational code. If this parameter is not defined or
the specified host is not available, the RA 6300 broadcasts its boot request
and loads operational code from the first host that responds. You can
modify the pref_load_addr parameter using na or the admin command;
specify the host by its Internet address or its name.
The image_name parameter specifies the name of the image file that
contains the Annex’s operational code. This file resides in different host
directories, depending on which transfer protocol (tftp or erpcd) is used.
If the load host has a different network or subnet address, you must define
a gateway through which the Annex can reach the host. The
load_dump_gateway parameter specifies the Internet address for the
gateway.
During the initial boot of the operational code, the ROM Monitor requires
the address of a gateway if the specified load host is on another network
or has a different subnet address. In this case, enter the gateway’s address
using the ROM Monitor addr command. The Annex automatically adds
this gateway to its routing table.
