Selecting the Boot Configuration
114084 Rev. A 2-7
6. The AN/ANH/ARN gets a software image from its local file system, an IP
address from the upstream router, and the customized configuration file from
the BOOTP server. (Chapter 1 describes this process; no action is required.)
If the configuration file meets your network requirements, the AN/ANH/ARN
starts bridging and routing traffic.
You can use the Site Manager Statistics Manager and Events Manager tools to
verify that the router is routing traffic according to the configuration you want.
(See Managing Routers and BNX Platforms.)
Netboot
Completing the Netboot option requires the following steps:
1. You use the Configuration Manager in local mode to create a complete
configuration file for the router. (See Chapter 4 and Configuring Routers.)
2. You set up a UNIX workstation on the network to support BOOTP.
(See Chapter 3.)
3. You use Site Manager to enable BOOTP on each router interface in the path
between the router and the BOOTP server. (See Chapter 4.)
4. You ensure that there is a network connection from a synchronous, Ethernet,
or Token Ring (ARN only) interface on the AN/ANH/ARN to the upstream
router.
5. The person at the AN/ANH/ARN site establishes a Technician Interface
session, or you establish a session via modem. (See your router installation
manual.)
6. The person at the AN/ANH/ARN console uses the
bconfig and ifconfig
commands to configure a synchronous, Ethernet, or Token Ring (ARN only)
interface. (See Chapter 5 and your router installation manual.)
7. You install the netboot.exe file in the BOOTP server’s file system, and make
sure that the image and application files reside in the same directory.
(See Chapter 3.)
Note: If the AN/ANH/ARN will connect to the upstream router using a
Frame Relay circuit, be sure that the upstream router is running Router
Software Version 7.71 or later.
