Cabletron Systems CSMIM-T1 Manual De Usuario

This chapter describes the ROM Monitor commands. These commands 
are accessed through a terminal connected to port 1 when the CSMIM-T1 
is in SETUP mode. Pressing the SETUP switch within 3 seconds of 
powering up puts the CSMIM-T1 into Set Up mode.

The ROM Monitor commands allow you to set a number of EEPROM 
parameters. Some of these parameters, like the unit’s Internet address, are 
required for booting the CSMIM-T1; some parameters, like the broadcast 
address, are required if the network configuration differs from the 
supplied defaults. Table 3-1 lists the ROM Monitor commands. 

Other parameters, although not required, are recommended for the
CSMIM-T1’s initial boot. Setting these parameters rather than using the 
assigned defaults minimizes errors during the initial boot. For example, 
setting the parameter that defines the preferred load host enables the 
CSMIM-T1 to load by requesting assistance from a specific host rather 
than by broadcasting that request to all hosts on the Ethernet.

You can define the same parameters using the Network Administrator 
(na) program as you can using the ROM Monitor. ROM Monitor 
commands generally provide data about current EEPROM parameters. 
When appropriate, they also display a prompt that allows the operator to 
change those parameters. Default or current values for parameters are 
displayed in brackets. For example:

Enter broadcast address [132.245.6.255]:

At the prompt enter a different value or press the Return key <cr> to 
leave the displayed value unchanged.

You can use unique abbreviations for all ROM Monitor commands except 
erase. For example, enter boot as bo, and enter net as n. If you enter an 
abbreviation that is not unique enough, an error message is displayed on 
the console terminal.
