Bootstrap Load Process - Nokia 7210 Configuration Manual

Boot Options
Provisions to configure two uplinks is supported in the BOF for port redundancy. If
the image path and configuration file path are local, the IP address and routing
information for uplinkA and uplinkB is not required. Optionally, the user can obtain IP
parameters through DHCP by configuring 0 (zero) for the IP address of the uplink
port. In this case, the DHCP server should be configured to grant the IP address and
the default gateway information used to reach the server where the image and
configuration files are located. After the BOF configuration is complete, a BOF with
configured parameters is created in the flash that can be used for subsequent
reboots. The bootstrap image then processes the BOF parameters to boot the
system. See
processing.
The eth-mgmt-disable parameter indicates whether the out-of-band Ethernet
management port is enabled during the boot process. On a 7210 SAS node where a
previous version of the BOF exists, the boot process uses the existing parameter
values for uplinkA and uplinkB ports to boot the TIMOS image. The OOB port is
disabled by default. The user has the option to enable the Ethernet management port
and use it to boot the system.

options and loads the bootstrap image file (boot.tim), the TiMOS image (both.tim)
and the configuration file to make the system operational and ready for use.
