AlliedWare Plus™ Start-up
Every switch has a start-up process. A specified version of product software must be loaded
and executed. The bootloader is the executable code responsible for setting up the system and
loading the release software.
The bootloader is the software that runs the unit when it first powers up, performing basic
initialization and executing the product software release. As part of the start-up process of the
switch, the bootloader allows you various options before running the product release software.
Previous versions of AlliedWare provide the option to boot to EPROM if a software release
cannot be loaded, is unlicensed, or if selected by the user. The EPROM provides enough basic
functionality to get a working software release loaded and operational on the switch. In
AlliedWare Plus™ this task is handled by the bootloader.
As AlliedWare Plus™ begins its start-up process; there are two options that allow you to
access either the diagnostic menu, or the bootloader menu. The following prompt is displayed
when these options are temporarily available:
Bootloader 1.0.9 loaded
Press <Ctrl+B> for the Boot Menu
You can now enter one of the following two options to determine how the start-up process
proceeds:
■
Enter Ctrl+D to display the diagnostic menu.
■
Enter Ctrl+B to display the bootloader menu.
