3-1Remote Annex 6300 Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 3 ROM Monitor Commands
This chapter describes the ROM Monitor commands. Access these
commands through a terminal connected to the console port located
on the back of the Remote Annex 6300.
The ROM Monitor commands allow you to set a subset of the
configuration (EEPROM) parameters. Some of these parameters, like
the unit’s IP address, are required for booting the Remote Annex 6300;
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
Remote Annex 6300’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 Remote Annex 6300 to load by requesting
assistance from a specific host, rather than by broadcasting that
request to all hosts on the subnet.
After booting the Remote Annex, you can define the same parameters
you defined using the ROM monitor, using the na utility, the local
admin command, or SNMP. See
Chapter 4 for information on Power-
up and boot procedures; the Remoe Annex Administrator’s Guide for
UNIX describes the na utility in detail.
ROM Monitor commands generally provide data about a subset of
current configuration (EEPROM) parameters. When appropriate,
they also display a prompt that allows the operator to change those
parameters.
