Modifying or Deleting BOF Parameters

All BOF parameters can be configured, modified, or deleted locally through a console session or remotely using Telnet or SSH. However, when modifying or deleting the BOF address, the following behaviors must be considered.

• If you have a dual IPv4/IPv6 BOF address configuration and you are running a Telnet IPv6 session or an SSH session, changing or deleting the active IPv4 address will not affect the session.

• If you have a dual IPv4/IPv6 BOF address configuration and you are running a Telnet IPv4 session or an SSH session, changing or deleting the active IPv6 address will not affect the session.

• If you have a dual IPv4/IPv6 BOF address configuration and you change or delete the active IP address that is the same version as the session (for example, you delete the active IPv4 address while running a Telnet IPv4 session), the session will hang once the change executes, and CLI access will be lost. You can either close the session (if possible) or wait until it times out. You must start a new session, using the new or existing active BOF address, to regain CLI access.

• If there is only one active BOF address on the port (that is, not the dual IPv4/IPv6 configuration), and it is deleted through a Telnet or SSH session, the session will hang and CLI access will be lost. You must use a directly connected console session to create a new BOF address. It is strongly recommended that you do not delete a single active BOF address through Telnet or SSH.
