Network Boot Options

Network boots are recommended only for troubleshooting or for possible downloads of new software images that can then be stored in the on-board flash memory, as described in To Upgrade to a Boot Image From a Network Boot in U-Boot Monitor Mode.

To boot from a boot server, you can select “Network” and configure a boot server.

For network boot to work, make sure the following prerequisites are done.

•	A TFTP server must be available to the OnBoard.

•	An upgraded OnBoard boot image file must be downloaded from Cyclades and must be available on the boot server. See

•	The OnBoard must have a fixed IP address and you must know the address.
