Boot options file

The primary copy of the system software is factory installed on the internal flash drive in directory cf3.

When the node is first powered on, by default the system searches for the bof.cfg file (also known as the BOF file) on the integrated flash. The system reads and executes the system initialization commands configured in the boot option file (BOF).

The BOF in the node is factory configured with Auto Discovery Protocol (ADP-HM) enabled. ADP-Hm starts automatically unless the auto-discover option is disabled.

The default ADP-Hm configuration in the BOF is as follows:

• auto-discover private.nokia.nsp.primary.nms

• auto-discover private.nokia.nsp.secondary.nms

For example:

*A:Dut-A# show bof          
===============================================================================
BOF (Memory)
=============================================================================== 
    primary-image cf3:/TiMOS-19.10.R1/
 <lines removed...>
 
    console-speed    115200
    auto-discover    private.nokia.nsp.primary.nms
    auto-discover    private.nokia.nsp.secondary.nms
=============================================================================== 
*A:Dut-A#          

ADP-Hm can be disabled manually by executing the tools>perform>auto-boot terminate command and saving the BOF. See Terminating ADP-Hm for more information.

See the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Basic System Configuration Guide, "System Initialization and boot options" for more information about boot options.
