These addresses are not used by other devices in the network; they are specific and unique to each port. The Cisco 7401ASR router uses a specific method to assign and control the MAC addresses of its port adapters. For a description of the MAC address, see the “MAC Address”...
Each address is reserved for a specific port and slot in the router regardless of whether a port adapter resides in that slot. The MAC address for the port adapter slot in the Cisco 7401ASR is slot 0. You can remove a port adapter and insert it into another router without causing the MAC addresses to move around the network or be assigned to multiple devices.

This section describes the troubleshooting methods used in this chapter and describes how the Cisco 7401ASR router is divided into subsystems for more efficient problem solving. If you are unable to easily solve the problem, contact a customer service representative for assistance and further instructions.
System startup successful. — — In addition to following the subsystems approach to troubleshooting, Cisco Registered Direct users can access troubleshooting tools at http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/support/tac/tools_az.shtml. Problem Solving Using a Subsystems Approach The key to solving problems with the system is isolating the problem to a specific subsystem. The first step in solving startup problems is to compare what the system is doing to what it should be doing.
The STATUS LED should come on. As the system boots to ROM monitor state, the STATUS LED • is amber. The STATUS LED turns green when the system boots to the Cisco IOS state. If the system does not boot properly, call your local service representative.
Power off, and reboot the system. Check to be sure amber STATUS LED turning the STATUS LED green. you are using the correct Cisco IOS release. If comes on. Cisco IOS does not boot, and the green STATUS LED is not displayed, contact a service representative.
Troubleshooting the I/O Subsystem The procedures in this section assume that you have not made changes to your configuration file. If the Cisco 7401ASR router I/O LEDs do not go on as expected (see the “Identifying Startup Problems” section on page...

The CompactFlash Disk is only supported on systems with the Cisco IOS File System feature, and the Note Cisco IOS File System feature is supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1) or later releases of 12.0. In general, CompactFlash Disk functionality requires Cisco IOS Release 12.0(2) or a later release of 12.0.
This section discusses CompactFlash Disk compatibility and use between supported systems. In order to boot a Cisco IOS software image from the CompactFlash Disk, when the system is executing from the ROM monitor software image, your ROM monitor software image and your boot image must be from one of the minimum Cisco IOS releases listed in the “Hardware and Software Requirements”...
Configuration register is 0x100 Following are explanations for each of these boot environment variables: BOOT variable—Points to the Cisco IOS software image that you want to boot; you set it in • configuration mode. The default software image is the CISCOxxx image (where xxx is a filename assigned by the system, if you do not enter a specific filename).
Copy the Cisco IOS Release 12.x software image from onboard Flash memory to the CompactFlash Disk. Step 4 Change the boot variables in your configuration file to point to the new Cisco IOS image in your CompactFlash Disk. (See the preceding section, “Boot Environment Variables,”...

Stays at the system bootstrap prompt (ROM monitor) on a reload or power cycle Boots the boot helper image as a system image Full boot process, which loads the Cisco IOS image into Flash memory Specifies a default filename for booting over the network from a TFTP server The boot field specifies a number in binary.
The server creates a default filename as part of the automatic configuration processes. To form the boot filename, the server starts with Cisco and links the octal equivalent of the boot field number, a dash, and the image name.
The default setting for bit 13 is 0. If bit 13 is set, the system boots the boot helper image found in boot flash memory without any retries. Cisco 7401ASR Installation and Configuration Guide OL-5419-01 B0...
