Introduction Overview This document outlines the various menu prototypes of Broadcom CCM and provides visual representations of each menu. CCM mode and invocation CCM provides menu mode and scripting mode. The modes share the same data structure and keywords. CCM is embedded inside the option ROM of Broadcom networking devices. When you update firmware, the option ROM CCM also updates if the firmware update includes a later version of the option ROM CCM.
Press the Ctrl-S keys (default) or the Ctrl-B keys (depending on the configuration) to invoke the CCM menu in the option ROM screen during the boot sequence. If you have multiple Broadcom networking cards in the platform, the CCM invocation banner only appears once during the boot sequence for all devices. The invoked CCM manages all supported devices in this platform. If CCM versions in different devices are different, the CCM with the latest version launches.
Menu mode CCM menus To invoke the CCM menu, do one of the following: • Press the Ctrl-S or Ctrl-B keys during the boot sequence. • Enter the ccmcfg command in DOS or a shell environment. The CCM menu lists all supported devices in the current platform. Device List menu The Device List menu describes the Broadcom devices detected in the system. The MBA version is not directly visible for LOM devices and appears as BIOS Built-in.
Main Menu The Main Menu describes the configuration options available for the device selected in the Device List menu. The following configuration items appear in the menu depending on a number of factors, such as if the device supports certain functionality, the presence of a valid license (if applicable), and the installation of the corresponding firmware package on the device. For more detailed information, see your specific device data sheet.
Exit Configuration menu If you made configuration changes in the submenus, the Exit Configuration menu appears when you exit the Main Menu. CCM prompts you to save or discard configuration changes before returning to the Device List menu.
Parameters that take effect after rebooting If you invoke CCM from a DOS, Windows, or Linux environment instead of the option ROM, some parameters take effect when you reboot the computer, such as the Hardware Configuration menu parameters. When you change and save parameters in these menus, a prompt appears reminding you to reboot the computer. Device Hardware Configuration menu The following table describes device hardware configuration options.

MBA Configuration Menu The following table shows MBA configuration options.
iSCSI Boot Main Menu The iSCSI Boot Main Menu describes the iSCSI Boot configuration options.
For BCV-based iSCSI ROM, the Secondary Device Parameters menu entry is not applicable and therefore hidden.
General Parameters menu The General Parameters menu describes the iSCSI boot general parameters available for configuration. The following table describes iSCSI boot general parameter configuration options.
For BCV-based iSCSI ROM, the Boot To Target and Target as First HDD parameters are not applicable and are hidden. Initator Parameters menu The following table describes iSCSI boot initiator parameter configuration options.
1st Target Parameters menu The following table describes iSCSI boot first target parameter configuration options.
2nd Target Parameters menu The configuration options for the iSCSI boot second target parameters are described in the iSCSI boot first target parameters menu ("1st Target Parameters menu" on page 17).
The following table describes iSCSI boot secondary device parameter configuration options.
FCoE Boot Main Menu The FCoE Boot Main Menu describes the FCoE boot configuration options.
General Parameters menu The FCoE boot General Parameters menu describes the parameters available for configuration. The following table describes FCoE boot general parameter configuration options.
For BCV-based iSCSI ROM, the Boot To Target and Target as First HDD parameters are not applicable and are hidden.
Target Information menu The FCoE boot target information menu displays all target information.
Target Parameters menu The FCoE boot Target Parameters menu displays the current state of the target, the WWPN, and the boot LUN.
Scripting mode Scripting mode overview Invoke ccmcfg from the DOS prompt in either a DOS or Windows environment. The following example shows formatting and usage commands: C:\test\7.8.21>ccmcfg32 -help CCMCFG32 v7.8.21 - Comprehensive Configuration Management Copyright (C) 2000-2013 Broadcom Corporation Usage: ccmcfg32 [Options] The following table describes the options.
Command Description -stderr Valid with -set Output Log File to STDERR. -dev Operation scope is the format of the device with MAC address in xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -card Operation scope is the cards of number(from 0) -termLines Screen scroll lines 0 means no terminal control. -termWidth Screen width 0 means no terminal control. In a DOS environment, the default is -termLines 25 and -termWidth 80, which matches default terminal size.

Based on the previous algorithm, you can use the -set operation to set the encrypted password only to the same NIC and port of the -get operation. If you use the -set operation to set the encrypted password to a different NIC or port, the password string is treated as a non-encrypted string. In this case, because of the binary-to-ASCII conversion and extra tails added during encryption process, the encrypted string is longer than the original string and is likely to cause an over-length error.
Log file The -set operation logs the following information for each device: • The difference between configuration file and current configuration on the card • Any syntax errors detected while parsing the script file • Any error and warning while trying to set the value such as invalid value The log file name is .log. The log is formatted in conformance with the scripting file format.
