Booting From a Network TFTP Server
In the rare and unlikely situation where a software version upgrade fails, a network boot may be performed as
described in the following procedure.
1. Assume that the new AR01_#### download failed when the following command was issued:
This command line is appropriate when the new upgrade AR01_#### file resides on a tftp server host with IP
address 192.168.10.1, in a directory named tftpdir/8.0.
Upon a download failure (and corruption or deletion of the AR01_#### file in Flash), the AR1202 and AR1204
router may not be able to boot.
2. Make note of which Ethernet interface (0 or 1) connects the system to the tftp server host.
3. Connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the console port of the Foundry system using the cable supplied.
Configure the terminal for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and XON/XOFF flow control.
4. Power cycle the AR1202 and AR1204.
5. Press and hold the Enter (Return) key while the system boots (usually 10-15 seconds).
6. The following (or similar) text is output to the terminal:
7. Type c, and press the Enter key.
NOTE: At any point in this procedure, online help can be accessed by typing ? and pressing the Enter key.

The following text is output to the terminal:
9. Press the Enter key.
