Bootloader
The bootloader ensures that basic operations, network access, and downloads are possible in case of interrupted
or corrupted application image downloads. It offers console access to the Bootloader and the capability for
downloading application images (e.g. SmartWare) via the serial link of the console.
Start Bootloader
To start the Bootloader, power on the SmartNode while pressing the reset button. Open a Telnet session to the
SmartNode via one of the Ethernet interfaces, or open a CLI session via the console port (if available on the
SmartNode). The login display will appear. Using the credentials admin / patton , log in to the SmartNode.
The following prompt will be displayed:
RedBoot>
Type
help
to display an overview of the available commands.
When you issue the
reload
command, the SmartNode will ask if you
want to copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.
Since you just downloaded a configuration file to the startup configu-
ration you must answer this question with
NO
. Otherwise, the down-
loaded configuration will be overwritten and lost!
