2.8.1 Invoking the Console Monitor
After the image boots, you can invoke a Console Monitor by pressing the
key on the console. At the Console Monitor prompt, entering
help or ? displays the available options:
• dump (from the CSMIM-T1 to the host and reboots).
• help or ? (displays the available options).
• info (displays configuration information for the CSMIM-T1).
• leds (displays the current front panel LED status).
• quit (exit the Console Monitor, e.g., quit the console).
• reboot filename (reboots the CSMIM-T1).
• rom (returns the CSMIM-T1 to the ROM Monitor).
• syslog (displays syslog messages).
2.8.2 Self-Booting the CSMIM-T1
After you have installed your optional Flash ROM, the CSMIM-T1 can be
self-booted. You can check your CSMIM-T1 configuration by entering
the
config command at the Monitor:: prompt. The config command
displays the current configuration information and revision levels. If your
device has Flash ROM installed, the line “FLASH PROM size:” will
appear under the REVISION/CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
section.
This section contains a description of what you need to do to boot your
CSMIM-T1 from FLASH ROM. See Section 3.2 for more information on
the commands referenced here. Proceed as follows:
1. Enter the ROM Monitor mode (see Section 2.4.1 for information on
entering the ROM Monitor mode).
2. Set the Internet address to a valid IP address and the Subnet Mask to a
valid mask using the
addr command.
3. Using the sequence command, set the interface sequence to self.
4. Execute the boot command (expect this to take upward of 5 minutes).
