The locations of the Ethernet Management port on the CSS are listed below. • CSS 11503 and CSS 11506 - SCM 10 Mbps-Ethernet Management port • CSS 11501 - Front Panel 10 Mbps-Ethernet Management port When you select primary boot-type boot-via-network, make sure you: • Locate the remote system on the network where you will copy the CSS software. - Make sure the CSS can access the system via FTP. - Copy the CSS software Zip file from www.cisco.com onto the designated network server. - Create a directory and unzip the file in to the directory. This directory will contain all of the boot files and directories. • Create an FTP record on the CSS to the directory that contains the CSS software on the network drive. Refer to Chapter 1, Managing the CSS Software, for details on creating an FTP record. Note Be aware of the following network boot restrictions: a network boot is not supported on UNIX workstations, and the War-FTP daemon is not supported for network-booting the system software. A network boot requires that the CSS contains an operational disk. OL-5647-02 Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide 2-5
