5.3.2 Correcting CSMIM-T1 Parameters
The following parameters must accurately reflect both the CSMIM-T1
and the network environment in which it operates.
Verify the CSMIM-T1’s IP address using the addr command. If your
network configuration does not support the factory defaults, verify the
following parameters using the addr command:
• The Broadcast Address
• The Subnet Mask.
• The load/dump Gateway Address (which must be specified if the
preferred load server host is located on another network or subnet).
• The IP encapsulation type. Many systems have hardware Ethernet
interfaces that are IEEE 802.3 compliant, but very few actually do
802.3 IP packet encapsulation. Use the default, Ethernet, unless you
know absolutely that your LAN does 802.2/802.3 IP packet
encapsulation.
You can use the defaults for the name of the image file containing the
CSMIM-T1’s software and the address of the preferred load server host.
If the value for the image name is incorrect, the CSMIM-T1 cannot boot.
Correct the name using the image command. If the address for the
preferred load server host is incorrect, the boot takes longer, since the
CSMIM-T1 has to broadcast for a host. Correct the load host’s address
using the addr command.
Confirm that the CSMIM-T1 boot parameters are correct by using the
appropriate ROM Monitor commands. Modify any boot parameters that
are incorrect or missing. Boot the CSMIM-T1 either by entering the boot
command at the console, or by holding down the
SET UP button
until the
STAT LED blinks rapidly, and then releasing.
