Chapter 4

Starting and Configuring the Router

Predeployment Testing

Laboratory testing is a prerequisite for new equipment deployment. The aim of the testing is to certify

the product for use in the network.

In the lab, the product is typically evaluated to

•

Verify its interoperability with other network connected equipment

•

Verify the performance and stability of a platform

•

Test software services and features during simulated operation

•

Verify that the product is NEBS compliant

Labs have a certification plan for measuring product stability and interoperability. After the platform

demonstrates that it can pass the certification plan, it is deployed.

During performance testing, lab personnel:

•

Refer to vendor documentation to make sure that the product meets vendor benchmarks.

•

Often have specialized tools for testing, and might test the functionality in cooperation with

customers who are interested in using the product.

Table 4-2

Definition of Bits in the Software Configuration Register

Bit No.

Hex Value

Meaning/Function

00 to 03

0x0000 to

0x000F

Defines the source of a default Cisco IOS software image required to run the router:

•

00—At power-on, the system remains at the ROM monitor prompt (

rommon>

), awaiting a

user command to boot the system manually by means of the rommon

boot

command.

•

01—At power-on, the system automatically boots the first system image found in the Flash

memory single inline memory module (SIMM) on the PRE.

•

02 to 0F—At power-on, the system automatically boots from a default Cisco IOS software

image stored on a TFTP server in the network. For this setting, the Fast Ethernet port on the

PRE must be configured and operational. This setting also enables boot system commands that

override the default filename.

0x0040

Causes system software to ignore the contents of NVRAM.

0x0080

Enable the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) bit.

0x0100

The Break function is disabled after 30 seconds.

0x0200

Not used.

0x0400

Broadcast based on 0.0.0.0 IP address.

11 and 12

0x0800 to

0x1000

Defines the console baud rate (the default setting is 9600 baud).

0x2000

Boots an image from the Flash SIMM.

0x4000

Broadcast using the subnet broadcast address.

0x8000

Enables diagnostic messages and ignores the contents of NVRAM.
