INTRODUCTION:
-------------
IBAUTIL is a utility program that changes the default settings of your
Intel WfM-compatible adapter.
IBAUTIL can be used to enable or disable the Wake-on-LAN and Boot Agent
capabilities, as well as enable or disable some settings used by the
Boot Agent.
IBAUTIL also allows for in-the-field upgrades to the image stored in the Flash
component of the NIC.
Wake-On-LAN: When enabled, the adapter can react to special 'wake up' packets
and power up the computer without end user intervention.
However, there is a higher power draw when the system is in the suspended
state once this is enabled. It is strongly recommended that no more than 2
adapters should have this feature enabled per machine.
Intel Boot Agent: When enabled, the computer can initiate PXE/RPL boot if
a valid flash image is present on the NIC.
NOTE: Desktop adapters are normally shipped with both WOL and the Boot
Agent (for PXE) enabled.
Server adapters are normally shipped with both WOL and the Boot
Agent (for PXE) disabled.
LOM implementations will vary.
To enable or disable these features you MUST use IBAUTIL. Other tools,
like PROSet, can only be used to upgrade the Boot Agent image and change
Boot Agent configuration settings.
IBAUTIL is not intended as a utility for LAN-On-Motherboard (LOM)
implementations. While IBAUTIL may be able to adjust the EEPROM settings
on LOM implementations, those changes may not affect how the adapter operates.
If the Boot Agent on the NIC is currently disabled, use the IBAUTIL
utility to enable the Boot Agent before using IBAUTIL or PROSet to
upgrade the image stored in the NIC.
Older adapters should be upgraded using the -UPGRADE option before trying to
use any other IBAUtil function.
If IBAUtil reports the Boot Agent as Invalid, run IBAUTIL with the -UPGRADE
option to refresh the image stored in the NIC.
A reboot is required for any changes to take effect.
IBAUTIL supports both the PRO/100 and PRO/1000 family of adapters.
Always check at http://support.intel.com for the latest Boot Agent
information and images. (Search for Boot Agent).
RUNNING IBAUTIL:
----------------
DOS:
IBAUTIL [-option]...
NOTE: IBAUTIL (for DOS) must be run with the computer booted to DOS only.
This utility cannot be run in a DOS window in any Microsoft* Windows
product or in DOS compatibility mode in IBM* OS/2.
Command Line Parameters:
------------------------
IBAUTIL accepts up to 16 simultaneous parameters and does not perform both
operations if orthogonal parameters (like the commands -FLASHENABLE
-FLASHDISABLE used together) are supplied. If opposing parameters are
specified, IBAUTIL will exit with an error.
Each parameter is grouped with its orthogonal pair, if alone it has
no opposite. Note that -HELP, -EXITCODES and -IMAGEVERSION have special
overriding characteristics. Unless noted all other parameters may be used in
conjunction with all other parameters.
If you run IBAUTIL without any command line options, it will display a listing
of all of the Intel Network adapters found in your system.
-HELP or -?
Displays command line help and exits. When -HELP is set,
all other parameters are ignored.
-EXITCODES
Displays exit code help. When -EXITCODES are set, all
other parameters except -HELP are ignored.
-IMAGEVERSION or -IV
Displays the PXE versions stored within the IBAUTIL. When
-IMAGEVERSION is set, all other parameters except -EXITCODES and -HELP
are ignored.
-ALL
Selects all adapters found in system, works for both EEPROM
and Flash activity.
-NIC=XX
Selects a specific adapter (1-16).
-AUTO or -QUIET
Runs IBAUTIL without asking for user intervention. It will NOT create
a backup image. This parameter must be used with -NIC or -ALL if
there is more than one NIC in the system. It will run without -ALL or
-NIC=xx if there is only one NIC in the system..
-BLINK
Provides a method for identifying an adapter. This feature is
currently only supported on the PRO/1000 product line.
-UPGRADE or -UP
Downloads the Boot Agent stored within IBAUTIL to the
adapters in the system. User intervention is required to answer
questions about backups and to select the appropriate NIC unless -AUTO
is used. IBAUTIL contains Boot Agent images for both the PRO/1000
line of adapters as well as the PRO/100 line of adapters. Note that
some 82557 based NICs may not have a big enough Flash to receive the
upgrade. If the image will not fit into the Flash device, the upgrade
will fail without changing the image currently in the device.
-DEFAULTCONFIG or -DEFCFG
Resets Configuration and Control words in the EEPROM back to default
settings.
-FLASHENABLE or -FE
Enables Boot ROM.
-FLASHDISABLE or -FD
Disables Boot ROM.
-WOLDISABLE or -WOLD
Disables WOL bit on Fast Ethernet and disables APMPME and APME
EEPROM bits on Gigabit.
-WOLENABLE or -WOLE
Enables WOL bit on Fast Ethernet and enables APMPME and APME
EEPROM bits on Gigabit.
-SETUPENABLE or -STE
Enables Setup Menu.
-SETUPDISABLE OR -STD
Disables Setup Menu.
-TITLEENABLE OR -TLE
Enables Initial Title Message.
-TITLEDISABLE OR -TLD
Disables Initial Title Message.
-PROTOCOLENABLE OR -PROE
Enables Changing the Boot Protocol Option.
-PROTOCOLDISABLE OR -PROD
Disables Changing the Boot Protocol Option.
-ORDERENABLE OR -ORDE
Enables Changing the Boot Order Option.
-ORDERDISABLE OR -ORDD
Disables Changing the Boot Order Option.
-LWSENABLE OR -LWSE
Enables Changing the Legacy OS Wakeup Support Option.
-LWSDISABLE OR -LWSD
Disables Changing the Legacy OS Wakeup Support Option.
-SETWAITTIME=X or -SWT=X
Set the setup delay time for the NIC to X seconds.
Valid delay times are 0, 2, 3, and 5. Only the first instance of
this parameter will be valid. All other instances of the
parameter will generate an error.
-RPL
Sets the network boot protocol to RPL.
-PXE
Sets the network boot protocol to PXE.
-MODE=X
Sets the Customization Control word in the EEPROM to the value
specified by X. No range checking or validation will be done. X must
be in hexadecimal format. This should only be used under direction of
Intel Customer Support.
All other parameters will generate an error.
ERROR CODES (DOS):
------------------
IBAUTIL returns error codes to the DOS environment, a description
of the error codes is found below.
CODE NAME VALUE
SUCCESS 0
OPERATOR TERMINATION 1
INVALID NIC 2
BAD COMMAND LINE PARAM 3
EEPROM CHECKSUM FAILURE 4
EEPROM READ FAILURE 5
EEPROM WRITE FAILURE 6
EEPROM DUMP FAILURE 7
(Not used) 8
NO MEMORY 9
NO NICS FOUND 10
UPGRADE NOTE:
-------------
As part of the UPGRADE code path, IBAUTIL will save the backup image to the
current directory if the user elects to make a backup. If that directory
is on a RAM drive, the backup image will not be available after the
machine reboots. IBAUTIL will make no effort to warn the user about this.
EXAMPLES:
---------
Example 1:
To Disable WOL on all Intel Network Adapters, call IBAUTIL like this:
IBAUTIL -ALL -WOLDISABLE
Example 2:
To Enable WOL on a the second Intel Network Adapter found in your
system, call IBAUTIL like this:
IBAUTIL -NIC=2 -WOLENABLE
Example 3:
To Update the Boot Agent image on all Intel Network Adapters, call
IBAUTIL like this:
IBAUTIL -ALL -UPGRADE
Example 4:
To Enable the Boot ROM on the first Intel Network Adapter
found in your system, call IBAUTIL like this:
IBAUTIL -NIC=1 -FLASHENABLE
SUPPORTED FLASH DEVICES:
------------------------
Please note that even though a part may be listed here, it may not work on all
the hardware supported by IBAUTIL. The Flash devices listed here are for use
with PRO/100 product line only, and can not be used on PRO/1000 adapters.
Please consult the appropriate hardware documentation to find out which
flash devices will work with what controllers.
