4.1.4.3 System Boot Options for 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-S 1/
10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE, and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE
These platforms can operate in the satellite mode or standalone mode, according to
the following considerations.
• In the satellite mode of operation, these 7210 SAS platforms do not need an
assigned IP address because they are managed by the 7750 SR host. The user
must connect the correct ports to the 7750 SR host and power on the node. The
node automatically fetches the BOF, the image, and the configuration required
to operate in satellite mode.
See System Boot Options for 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE,
7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, and 7210 SAS-Mxp in Satellite Mode for a detailed
procedure used to boot these 7210 SAS platforms.
• In the standalone mode of operation, these 7210 SAS platforms provide IP/
MPLS functionality. The platforms need an assigned IP address and can be
managed independently. See System Boot Options for 7210 SAS-Mxp,
7210 SAS-S 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE, and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE in
Standalone Mode for procedures to boot these 7210 SAS platforms.
The operating mode that the 7210 SAS platform or node uses to boot up is
determined by the chassis-role and host-type BOF parameters. Nokia
recommends configuring similar values for both parameters to ensure that the node
boots up in the correct mode. Failure to do so will result in an error and the node will
not boot up. See BOF Chassis-Role and Host-Type Parameters for 7210 SAS-Sx 1/
10GE, 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, and 7210 SAS-Mxp for more
information about BOF parameter settings to boot up the nodes in standalone mode
and satellite mode.
Note: See the Virtual Chassis chapter for information about boot up and configuration of the
7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE operating in standalone-VC mode.
