Control Board Executive Image and Port Specification Files

The main SSP is the boot server for the control board. Two files are downloaded by the control board boot PROM during boot time: the image of CBE and the port number specification file. These files are located in /tftpboot on the SSP and the naming conventions are:

/tftpboot/xxxxxxxx for the cbe image
/tftpboot/xxxxxxxx.cb_port for the port number

where xxxxxxxx is the control board IP address in hex format.

For example, if the IP address of xf2-cb0 is 129.153.3.19, the files for control board xf2-cb0 are:

/tftpboot/81990313
/tftpboot/81990313.cb_port
