Boot Parameter Definitions
The system displays all boot parameters when the user configures them after a boot interrupt. The system hides some boot parameters from the ACLI because the user should not configure them. If changed improperly, these parameters can cause the system to fail.
The following table defines each of the parameters that are visible when the user configures after a boot interrupt.
| Boot Parameter | Description |

| IP Address | IP address of wancom0. |
| VLAN | VLAN of management network over
which this address is accessed.
Note: VLANs over management interfaces are not supported on the Acme Packet 4600 And Acme Packet 6xxx. |
| Netmask | Netmask portion of the wancom0 IP Address. |
| Gateway | Network gateway that this wancom0 interface uses. |
