Managing Initialization Parameters
The following is the syntax of the command which changes the status of an initialization
record:
DEFINE [SERVER] CHASSIS SLOT [list ] LOADDUMP [record] ENABLED|
DISABLED
The [record ] variable specifies the primary, secondary, or tertiary initialization record.
The primary initialization record is the default. The following is an example of a
command which enables the initialization record for the terminal server in slot 2:
Xyplex>> define chassis slot 2 loaddump secondary enabled
During the initialization process, the processor module can attempt to load software and
parameters using the information in the secondary initialization record if it fails using
the information in the primary record.
Link Selection
The link selection is a connection between a link and either a midplane Ethernet segment
or an external network. A processor module uses this connection while loading and
dumping over the network. The Link Selection in Figure 4-1 is Ethernet 1 Segment A,
which is the default for the primary initialization record on all Network 9000 processor
modules.
You can change the link selection in the initialization records of terminal servers, LAN
bridge/routers, and WAN bridge/routers with a chassis management command. You
cannot change the link selection on managed concentrators with a chassis management
command, although you can change it through the initialization configuration menu,
commands specific to repeaters, and SNMP. Table 4-2 lists the default Link Selections for
all initialization records on each Network 9000 product.
