bootparam

The bootparam command establishes the parameters that a Oracle Communications Session Border Controller uses when it boots.

Note:

In the physical interface and the network interface configuration elements, you can set values that may override the values set within the boot configuration parameters. If you are configuring these elements and enter information that matches information in the boot configuration parameters, the system will warn you that your actions may change the boot configuration parameters.

The bootparam command presents you with the parameters to enter on a line-by-line basis. You can press <Enter> to accept a given default parameter and move to the next parameter.

Parameter

boot device
Enter the name and port number of the device from which an image is downloaded (e.g., wancom0). This parameter is only required if you are booting from an external device; if you are doing so, the name must be wancom followed by the port numbe
processor number
Enter the processor number on the backplane
host name
Enter the name of the boot host used when booting from an external device
file name
Enter the name of the file containing the image to be booted. If you are booting off the system flash memory, this filename must always match the filename that you designate when you FTP the image from the source to the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller. When booting off the system flash memory, this filename must always start with: /tffs0/.
inet on ethernet
Enter the internet address of the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller's Ethernet interface. An optional subnet mask in the form inet_adrs:subnet_mask is available. If DHCP is used to obtain the configuration parameters, lease timing information may also be included. The information takes the form of lease duration:lease_origin and is appended to the end of the field. The subnet mask for this parameter is given in hex.
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
inet on backplane
Not used
host inet
Enter the internet address of the boot host, used when booting from an external device
gateway inet
Enter the IP gateway for the management interface’s subnet.
An IPV6 address is valid for this parameter.
user
Enter the FTP username on the boot host
ftp password
Enter the FTP password for the FTP user on the boot host
flags
Set the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller to know from where to boot. Also sets how to use the files in the booting process.
  • 0x08—Quickboot. The system bypasses the 7 second countdown prior to booting.
  • 0x10008—This flag does the same as 0x08. In addition, it connects to usr/acme on the boot host defined in the boot parameters. Connecting externally to usr/acme is useful for copying data off the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller to the external host over NFS.
  • 0x70008—This flag does all of the above. In addition, it stores the configuration in usr/acme on the boot host defined in the boot parameters rather than in /code in the system flash memory file system.
  • 0x80008—Source based routing.
target name
Enter the name of this Oracle Communications Session Border Controller. This field also sets the name of the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller as it appears in the system prompt (e.g., ORACLE> or ORACLE#). Values 0-38 Characters in length.

Path

bootparam is in the configuration path. The full path from the topmost prompt is: configure terminal , and then bootparam.
