Chapter 4. Configuring the Boot Parameters Using an Init Diskette
Freeway 3112 Hardware Installation Guide
Boot Parameter
Description
FTP User Name
If booting from the boot server, Freeway uses this name to log in to its FTP (or RSH)
user account. The default is
freeway
. This is not required if you are booting from the
local disk.
FTP Password
If booting from the boot server, Freeway uses this password to log in to its user account.
The default is
password
. This parameter is optional. If a password is given, FTP is
used during system boot; if it is cleared, the remote shell (RSH) protocol is used.
Flags
This parameter specifies whether you want Freeway to:
•
Autoboot two seconds after system reset, seven seconds after system reset, or not
at all
•
Force the primary boot network interface to operate at 10 megabits/second, half
duplex
Enter the Flags value shown in

desired bits for the individual functions.
