The next example uses static IP addresses for SPIOs in both slots 24 and 25, which can access the external network
server through a gateway whose IP address is 135.212.10.2.
boot networkconfig static ip address spio24 192.168.206.101 spio25 192.168.206.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway

Save the configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.
Configuring Boot Network Delay Time
An optional delay period, in seconds, can be configured for systems booting from a network. The purpose of
this parameter is to allow time for external devices, such as switches, that use the Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP) to determine the network route to a specified IP address.
To configure a boot network delay, enter the following command from the Global Configuration mode prompt.
[local]
Where time is an integer from 1 to 300 seconds before attempting to contact the external network server. If
your network uses STP, a typical delay time of 30 seconds should suffice.
Important
Configuring a Boot Nameserver
To enter the hostname of the network server that hosts the operating system software image, first configure
the IP address of the Domain Name Service (DNS) server, referred to as a name server, that can resolve the
host name for the machine.
To configure a boot nameserver address, enter the following command from the Global Configuration mode
prompt.
[local]
Where ip_address is the IP address of the DNS server entered in IPv4 dotted-decimal notation.
Important
