4-6CHAPTER 4: INSTALLING SOFTWARE AND BOOTING A CEC 20 NETBUILDER II SYSTEM

Booting a

This section describes how to boot the NETBuilder II image over the network,

NETBuilder II Image

which can be done from either a UNIX-based or PC-based network management

over the Network

station.

 

Network booting is supported over Ethernet, token ring, FDDI (but not FDDILink),

 

and HSS ports using PPP.

 

Table 4-1lists additional boot source parameter settings, such as those related to

 

booting over a token ring port, an HSS port using PPP, or a multiport Ethernet

 

module. You may need to adjust these parameters based on your particular

 

configuration.

 

 

.

Parameter

Configuration

 

 

Boot Device:

Interface number.

Network

You are prompted with this field only if an Ethernet 2-Port or Ethernet 6-Port module resides in the slot. Make

 

 

sure this parameter is set to the appropriate interface (A or B or A–F). The default is A.

 

 

MP Module

You need to configure this parameter only if the TFTP server is reachable through an HSS port running PPP or a

Parameters

token ring port.

 

 

 

HSS port running PPP

 

If the boot source is reachable through an HSS port running PPP, you are prompted to configure the

 

following fields:

 

■

HSS Baud Rate

 

 

This setting must correspond to the serial line setting.

 

■

HSS Clock Source

 

 

Set this parameter appropriately (the default setting is external).

 

■

HSS Connector Type

 

 

Set this parameter to the connector that the server is reachable through (the default is V.35).

 

■

HSS Protocol

 

 

Select PPP.

 

■

HSS WAN Password

 

 

Leave this field empty.

 

 

 

Token ring port

 

If the boot source is reachable through a token ring port, you are prompted to configure the following fields:

 

■

Token Ring Speed

 

 

This setting must correspond to the token ring line setting (the default is 4 Mbps).

 

■ Token Ring Baud Rate

 

 

Make sure the setting of this field corresponds to that of the token ring line.

 

 

Boot Protocol

Make sure the Boot Protocol is set to TFTP.

 

If you are configuring the bridge/router to use TFTP only, set the Address Discovery Protocol to Local Configured

 

Addresses.

 

If you are configuring the bridge/router to use TFTP and BOOTP, set the Address Discovery Protocol to BOOTP.

 

 

Boot Sources

Make sure the Boot Sources are set to Primary and Secondary.

 

 

MAC Address

Make sure this parameter is set to the CEC MAC address.

 

 

ARP Format

If the boot source is reachable through a token ring port, make sure that the setting of this parameter agrees

 

with the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) format used on the token ring network: noncanonical.
