Configuration Commands
File Management Commands
bof
Syntax
bof
Context
<ROOT>
Description
This command creates or edits the boot option file (BOF) for the specified local storage device.
A BOF file specifies where the system searches for runtime images, configuration files, and other operational parameters during system initialization.
BOF parameters can be modified. Changes can be saved to a specified compact flash. The BOF must be located in the root directory of either an internal or external compact flash local to the system and have the mandatory filename of bof.cfg.
When modifications are made to in-memory parameters that are currently in use or operating, the changes are effective immediately. For example, if the IP address of the management port is changed, the change takes place immediately.
Only one entry of the BOF configuration command statement can be saved once the statement has been found to be syntactically correct.
When opening an existing BOF that is not the BOF used in the most recent boot, a message is issued notifying the user that the parameters will not affect the operation of the node.
No default boot option file exists. The router boots with the factory default boot sequence and options.
Default
none
save
Syntax
save [cflash-id]
Context
bof
Description
This command uses the boot option parameters currently in memory and writes them from the boot option file to the specified compact flash.
The BOF must be located in the root directory of the internal or external compact flash drives local to the system and have the mandatory filename of bof.cfg.
If a location is not specified, the BOF is saved to the default compact flash drive (cf3:) on the active CPM (typically the CPMin slot A, but the CPMin slot B could also be acting as the active CPM). The slot name is not case-sensitive. You can use upper or lowercase “A” or “B”.
Command usage:
bof save — Saves the BOF to the default drive (cf3:) on the active CPM(either in slot A or B).
bof save cf3: — Saves the BOF to cf3: on the active CPM (either in slot A or B).
To save the BOF to a compact flash drive on the standby CPM (for example, the redundant (standby) CPM is installed in slot B), specify -A or -B option.
Command usage:
bof save cf3-A: — Saves the BOF to cf3: on CPM in in slot A whether it is active or standby.
bof save cf3-B: — Saves the BOF to cf3: on CPM in in slot B whether it is active or standby.
The slot name is not case-sensitive. You can use upper or lowercase “A” or “B”.
The bof save and show bof commands allow you to save to or read from the compact flash of the standby CPM Use the show card command to determine the active and standby CPM(A or B).
Default
Saves must be explicitly executed. The BOF is saved to cf3: if a location is not specified.
Parameters
flash-id
The compact flash ID where the bof.cfg is to be saved.
Values
Default
 
BOF Processing Control
wait
Syntax
wait seconds
Context
bof
Description
This command configures a pause, in seconds, at the start of the boot process which allows system initialization to be interrupted at the console.
When system initialization is interrupted the operator is allowed to manually override the parameters defined in the boot option file (BOF).
Only one wait command can be defined in the BOF.
Default
3
Parameters
seconds
The time to pause at the start of the boot process, in seconds.
Values
 
Console Port Configuration
console-speed
Syntax
console-speed baud-rate
no console-speed
Context
bof
Description
This command configures the console port baud rate.
When this command is issued while editing the BOF file used for the most recent boot, both the BOF file and the active configuration are changed immediately.
The no form of the command reverts to the default value.
Default
115200 — console configured for 115,200 bps operation
Parameters
baud-rate
The console port baud rate, expressed as a decimal integer.
Values
 
Image and Configuration Management
persist
Syntax
persist {on | off}
Context
bof
Description
This command specifies whether the system will preserve system indexes when a save command is executed. During a subsequent boot, the index file is read along with the configuration file. As a result, a number of system indexes are preserved between reboots, including the interface index, LSP IDs, path IDs, etc. This reduces resynchronizations of the Network Management System (NMS) with the affected network element.
In the event that persist is on and the reboot with the appropriate index file fails, SNMP is operationally shut down to prevent the management system from accessing and possibly synchronizing with a partially booted or incomplete network element. To enable SNMP access, enter the config>system>snmp>no shutdown command.
If persist is enabled and the admin save <url> command is executed with an FTP path used as the <url> parameter, two FTP sessions simultaneously open to the FTP server. The FTP server must be configured to allow multiple sessions from the same login, otherwise, the configuration and index files will not be saved correctly.
Notes:
Default
off
Parameters
on
Create when saving the configuration.
off
Disables the system index saves between reboots.

Default
autonegotiate
Syntax
[no] autonegotiate [limited]
Context
bof
Description
This command enables speed and duplex autonegotiation on the management Ethernet port in the running configuration and the Boot Option File (BOF).
When autonegotiation is enabled, the link attempts to automatically negotiate the link speed and duplex parameters. If autonegotiation is enabled, then the configured duplex and speed parameters are ignored.
The no form of the command disables the autonegotiate feature on this port.
autonegotiate — Autonegotiation is enabled on the management Ethernet port.
Parameters
limited
Specifies ethernet ports to be configurable to use link autonegotiation but with only a
single speed/duplex combination advertised. This allows a specific speed/duplex to be guaranteed without having to turn off autonegotiation, which is not allowed for 1000BASE-T
.
duplex
Syntax
duplex {full | half}
Context
bof
Description
This command configures the duplex mode of the CPM management Ethernet port when autonegotiation is disabled in the running configuration and the Boot Option File (BOF).
This configuration command allows for the configuration of the duplex mode of the CPM Ethernet interface. If the port is configured to autonegotiate this parameter will be ignored.
Default
duplex full — Full duplex operation.
Parameters
full
