BOF Configuration Overview

The 7705 SAR routers do not contain a boot EEPROM. The boot loader code is loaded from the boot.ldr file. The BOF file performs the following tasks:

1. Sets up the CSM Management port (speed, duplex, auto)

2. Assigns the IP address for the CSM Management port

3. Creates static routes for the CSM Management port

4. Sets the console port speed

5. Configures the Domain Name System (DNS) name and DNS servers

6. Configures the primary, secondary, tertiary configuration source

7. Configures the primary, secondary, and tertiary image source

8. Configures operational parameters

   Note:

   The CSM Management port is referred to as the CPM Management port in the CLI to align with the CLI syntax used with other SR products.
