Booting with FDR Enabled
 
Overview
This topic describes how a Momentum 170ENT11001 boots as a replacement for a fast device.
FDR is accessible only through the embedded Web pages.
Supporting FDR
The Momentum 170ENT11001 will support FDR only as a client.
NOTE: A Momentum 170ENT11001 needs an FDR server available to function as a client.
Booting with an FDR Device
In this capacity, it will be able to retrieve its IP and configuration parameters from a DHCP server and an FTP server respectively. The presence or absence of a role name will control participation in an FDR environment–no role name, no participation–.
Out of the Box
In its default, out of the box configuration, the Momentum 170ENT11001 will not have a role name present; therefore, it will behave as a Momentum 170ENT11000 device.
NOTE: A change in the role name configuration parameter will require a reboot before it will take effect.
Changing the role name may be accomplished using the Configure IP Parameters Web page. You will be prompted for the password to approve the required reboot.
Startup after First Configuration
Upon startup, if the role name exists, assume that the device is intended to behave as an FDR client. If the role name is present, the Momentum 170ENT11001 will attempt to get its IP parameters via DHCP requests. After receiving its IP parameters, the Momentum 170ENT11001 will store the served IP parameters to FLASH. On subsequent boot-ups, if the DHCP/FDR server is not responding and the IPFallBack bit is set, the Momentum 170ENT11001 will use these stored parameters to accomplish the boot.
