Configuration Guide
During the first boot or a reboot after the execution of the admin>reboot auto-init
command, if the user does not intervene to create the BOF in the manual mode, the
system, by default, runs the auto-init procedure after a wait time. The default wait
time is 3 seconds. Two designated ports are used for auto-init: front panel port 1 and
2. Auto-init requires a DHCP server to be configured in the network and reachable
by the system. DHCP requests are directed out of one uplink port at a time because
all other ports in the system are down.
Note: Some systems use other ports in addition to front panel port 1 and 2. See
Configuration Notes for 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 10/
100GE, and 7210 SAS-Mxp
for 7210 SAS platforms.
If a DHCP server is present in the network, the system expects to receive an IP
address, default gateway information, and a BOF location in the response returned
by the DHCP server. Upon receiving these parameters from the DHCP server, the
system applies the IP configuration and downloads the BOF from the location
specified by the DHCP server. The BOF is saved in the flash drive and used for
subsequent reboots. The bootstrap image processes the BOF parameters to boot
the system. See
the BOF processing.
Before the node attempts to use DHCP to obtain the BOF and image files, you can
configure the following link parameters in the BOF to suit your deployment needs:
Note: DHCP uses the values specified in the partial BOF to retrieve the complete BOF from
the network. If you configure the preceding parameters in the partial BOF, Nokia
recommends using the same values for the locally modified BOF as in the BOF downloaded
from the network.
