FN/LN/CN Router Boot Prerequisite

The PCMCIA/Floppy switch on the Flash System Controller board of an FN™,

, or CN

determines where the router looks for the image (ace.out) and

conﬁguration ﬁle when it is booting. The PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory

Card International Association) position is for memory card boot access, and the

Floppy position is for diskette boot access.

You can use Site Manager and the Technician Interface to access both the memory

card and diskette ﬁles, regardless of the position of this switch. But you cannot

override the switch setting when booting. For example, you cannot boot from a

diskette if the switch is set in the PCMCIA position.

When you use the Site Manager to boot the router, or to specify an image and

conﬁguration ﬁle in a Technician Interface

boot command, the software veriﬁes

the ﬁle’s existence before allowing the boot to take place.

If the PCMCIA/Floppy switch is in the PCMCIA setting and you boot the router,

the following occurs:

1. The router boots from 1:ace.out if it is available. If not, it boots from

2:ace.out if it is available. If both are unavailable, a boot error occurs.

2. The router conﬁgures from 1:conﬁg if it is available. If not, it conﬁgures from

2:conﬁg if it is available. If both are unavailable, a conﬁguration error occurs.

Booting a Router

To boot a Bay Networks router, start from the Site Manager main window and

follow these steps:

1. Select Administration➔Boot Router.

The Boot Router window shows default ﬁlenames for the router software

image and the conﬁguration ﬁle (F

igure 7-1).
