Table 11. Boot CONFIG Commands (continued)
Command Function
Timedload Schedules an image load into the device on a specific day and
time, cancels a scheduled load or displays scheduled load
information.
TFTP Initiates TFTP file transfers between device memory or IBD
and remote hosts.
Exit Returns you to the previous command level. See “Exiting a
Lower Level Environment” on page 11.
Add
Use the add command to enter boot/dump parameters into the device’s
configuration database.
Syntax:
add
address
boot-entry
bp-device
dump-entry
address
Specifies the IP address of the interface or device over which the device
can boot or dump. When you enter the add address command, you must
supply or accept the default value of the following information:
v Interface number of the network interface
v IP address
v Network mask
To obtain the interface number (Ifc#), use the CONFIG list devices
command. “Chapter 5. The Configuration Process (CONFIG - Talk 6) and
Commands” on page 39 describes this command.
Note: Failure to add an address results in the device being unable to boot
or dump over the network.
Remember the following:
v The first address you enter corresponds to the first boot-entry entered,
the second address to second boot-entry, and so on.
v Multiple boot entries can use the same IP address (interface).
v You must enter this command if you are using the add boot-entry, add
dump-entry and load remote commands.
Example: add address
Which interface is this address for [0]?
New address [0.0.0.0] ? 128.185.1.2
Net mask for this interface [255.255.255.0]?
boot-entry
Specifies the information needed by the device to locate the TFTP host

specify the IBD loadname as the first boot entry in the configuration. You
