Boot Parameters
The boot parameters are mainly to boot the operating system and are stored in non-volatile memory on the board. Although these parameters can be changed both in boot loader mode and linux mode (i.e. the mode that will be entered after board has restarted), it shall never require to modify them from boot loader.
In linux mode the boot parameters can be changed through the Maintenance port (USB) using a serial (V.24) dongle at 9600 baud, no parity, 1 stop bit. Only serial dongles using the PL2303 device are supported. It can be noted that the USB port is not active in boot loader mode.
It is also possible to change parameters through SSH login (but obviously, the IP address need to be known then).
Note: The only settings required by end-user is the IP address and default router for LAN0, i.e. parameters def_route and eth0_ip (IPv4), and def_route6 and eth0_ip6 (IPv6). Other parameters are set indirectly through MX-ONE Service Node commands. Faulty settings or removing parameters might cause malfunction of the MGU2.
Note: There is no check that boot parameters are spelled correctly (a misspelled parameter will create a new parameter, not recognized by applications), thus check spelling if change doesn’t take effect.
