Configuring Boot Characteristics

By selecting the Settings - Boot configuration menu option, the administrative user can configure

the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP Manager boot characteristics, including the location of the file from

which the SP manager boots, whether or not the watchdog timer is active, the console speed and the

speed of the Ethernet interfaces.

The Unit boot from pull

-down menu lists the Network option, for booting from a TFTP boot server

on the network, along with either one or two boot images that reside on the SP manager. A second

image appears in the list only if the software has been upgraded. By default, the SP manager boots

from an image file that resides on the on

-board Flash memory.

CAUTION: Booting from the resident software is strongly recommended. Network boots should be reserved only

for troubleshooting or upgrading.

Local boot options

To understand the local options on the Unit boot from menu, you need to understand how the

MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager handles software upgrades:

• The SP manager initially boots from a software image referred to as Image1.

• The first time a new software version is downloaded and installed, the new image is stored as

Image2 in the Flash memory and the configuration is changed so the SP manager boots from

image 2.

• The second time a new software version is downloaded and installed, the latest image is stored

as Image 1, and the SP manager configuration is changed to boot from Image1.

• Subsequent downloads are stored following the same pattern, alternating Image1 with Image2.

In the Unit boot from pull

-down menu, the entry for the current boot image is selected by default.

After a software upgrade, the boot file location choices are:
