APPENDIX
Loader, Sysloader and Dual Boot

Overview

ESB26 has two separate special startup modes, called "Loader" and "Sysloader". They can be
entered rignt after turning on or resetting the switch. They both have almost the same purpose
and differ only in the commands provided and the way the commands function. The
Loader/Sysloader modes are designed for:
•
auto-starting the routing switch's application;
•
configuration of basic parameters;
•
rescue tools in case of routing switch inoperability;
•
memory exploring tools.
When starting, the system counts down a few seconds, allowing the user an entry point into
Loader/Sysloader. During that time, pressing any key enters Sysloader mode and pressing any
key enters Loader mode. The switch then goes into the respective Loader/Sysloader
interactive mode, requests login password, and starts a CLI. If no key is pressed, the auto-
startup of the switch application is performed.
The commands available in each of these startup modes and their use are covered in detail
below.
