Selecting the Routine Startup Option

This section provides information to help you select the boot configuration for

routine startup operations.

Recommendations

Nortel Networks recommends that you do the following:

• Maintain the complete software image file (an.exe or arn.exe) on the local file

system at all times, in case the network connection to the BootP server goes

down and the BayStack router needs to use Local Boot for startup.

• Set up the network to support Netboot even if you plan to use the Local Boot

option. With the network set up to support Netboot, you can boot the

BayStack router over the network for some procedures and boot it locally for

others.

Netboot

Netboot takes longer than the other startup options, but has many benefits.

Using Netboot for routine startups allows you to:

• Manage software image and configuration files from a remote location by

storing them on the BootP server

This option greatly simplifies the management of remote routers by allowing

you to keep the startup files up-to-date in a single location -- the BootP server.

• Minimize the need to maintain the BayStack router’s local file system

When the BayStack router obtains files from a BootP server, it stores them in

memory, not in its file system, reducing the need for frequent file-system

compactions. (See Using Technician Interface Software or Configuring and

Managing Routers Using Site Manager to learn about compacting a file

system.)

Note:

Over a low-speed WAN, or after configuring the BayStack router to run

several protocols, netbooting can take up to 15 minutes. It takes less time to

netboot only the kernel file or configuration file.
