F0615-F Subject to Change Without Notice
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) Manual
Because FDDI full duplex is not an industry standard, its implementation in the XP -FDDI-02 is based
on the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) standard and will interoperate with all DEC products
and most Enterasys Networks FDDI products.
Gigabit Module Manual
When connecting a 1000Base-SX/LX module to a device not supporting auto negotiation, ensure
that both devices exhibit the same link negotiation mode and that the link negotiation mode is off.
Management Port (en0) Manual
The Ethernet port labeled “10/100 Mgmt” on the Control Module (referred to as en0 in Configure
mode) is a management port only, and is not intended to perform routing.
Network Address Translation (NAT) Manual
VRRP is not currently supported on NAT interfaces.
PCMCIA Card File System Manual
The file system on the PCMCIA card will not be corrupted under normal circumstances. Unusual
circumstances, such as loss of power while adding a System Firmware image, may corrupt the
PCMCIA card’s file system. Re-initialization of the PCMCIA card’s file system must be done from the
Boot Firmware’s CLI. The procedure is as follows:
Note: This procedure will erase the PCMCIA card. If the user boots the System Firmware from the
PCMCIA card, a copy of the System Firmware image must be placed on a TFTP server so
that it may be temporarily booted over the network.
1. Reboot, or power off then on, the X-Pedition to reach the Boot Firmware’s CLI. When the Boot
Firmware goes through its initialization, stop it from booting the System Firmware by pressing
the Escape key. Typically, the Boot Firmware waits two seconds for user interruption before
starting to boot the System Firmware.
2. After pressing the Escape key, the Boot Firmware’s CLI prompt will display. Enter the following
commands to unmount, erase, and mount (with initialization) the Virtual File System.
XP-boot> pcumount (unmounts the PCMCIA card’s Virtual File System)
XP-boot> erasepcvfs (erases the PCMCIA card’s Virtual File System)
XP-boot> pcmount -i (mounts and initializes the PCMCIA card’s Virtual File System)
If the file system on the PCMCIA flash card is not mounted, the pcumount command will fail;
this results in an error message. The user may safely ignore this error message. Note that if the
PCMCIA flash card is write-protected, the erasepcvfs command will fail. The PCMCIA card’s
file system is now initialized, however it lacks a System Firmware image.
3. The Boot Firmware requires the netaddr, bootaddr, netmask, and/or gateway parameters be
configured in order to boot a System Firmware image from a TFTP server over the network
using the “10/100 Mgmt” port. To configure these parameters, use the set command as follows:
XP-boot> set netaddr <IPaddr-of-management-port>
XP-boot> set bootaddr <IPaddr-of-TFTP-host>
XP-boot> set gateway <IPaddr-of-default-gateway>
XP-boot> set netmask <default-netmask>
