Setting Up a UNIX Boot Server
To support network booting, you need to set up a UNIX workstation on the
network to run BOOTP and TFTP. This chapter describes what you need to do at a
UNIX workstation to prepare for booting the router over the network.
When a router boots over the network, it gets its startup files from a UNIX server.
When the router uses EZ-Install or Netboot, the server supplies configuration file
and/or software image file pathnames using BOOTP. The router then retrieves the
files using TFTP. When the router uses Directed Netboot, it already knows the
pathnames of the files it needs and retrieves the files directly from the server using
TFTP.
