Bootloader

SmartNode 4950 User Manual
4 • Initial configuration
Note
With the Bootloader, only the Ethernet interface 0/0 is available. The Boot-
loader applies the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway that were last
configured by the Bootloader itself or by another application (e.g. Smart-
Ware). If an application configured the Ethernet interface 0/0 to use DHCP,
the Bootloader will also use DHCP to learn the interface configuration. It
can receive and apply the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and
default (TFTP) server (transmitted as basic DHCP information ‘Next server
IP address’).
Note
This procedure does not download the respective CLI description file.
Download it after starting up SmartWare with the following command:
copy tftp://<tftp_server_address>/<server path>/b1 flash:
