Software Description
Software on the CP6930 Ethernet Switch includes the following parts:
• Bootloader
• RootFile system, kernel and application software
• IPMI FW
The software is stored in a soldered flash device and accomplishes operation of the switching hardware. It is
preinstalled on the system and can only be updated by a dedicated update procedure.
For additional information on the system refer to the CP6930 CLI Reference Manual and CP6930 User Guide.
4.1 Supported RFCs and MIBs
Software support is described in the CP6930 User Guide and CP6930 CLI Reference Manual .
4.2 Power On Self Test
Upon power on or system reset, the boot loader performs a self test (POST).
In the case that a POST fails, a POST error code is written into the postcode register of the onboard CPLD. The
boot process is not stopped as there are good chances that the board can finish startup sequence success-
fully.
The postcode register is also accessible by the Peripheral Manager which can report error codes to a separate
management instance.
More information can be found in the CP6930 User Guide.
4.3 Bootloader Shell
The boot process can be interrupted by entering the bootstopkey phrase "stop". This will open a bootloader
shell session.
Entering "?" provides a list of possible built-in commands, "printenv" provides a list of current environment
settings. The bootloader shell can be used to customize boot options and system startup by changing some
of its environment variables.
The list of available options can be found in the CP6930 User Guide.
