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 |
over the Network | station. |
| Network booting is supported over Ethernet, token ring, FDDI (but not FDDILink), |
| and HSS ports using PPP. |
| Table |
| 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. |

Boot Device: | Interface number. | |
Network | You are prompted with this field only if an Ethernet | |

| sure this parameter is set to the appropriate interface (A or B or | |
|
| |
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. | |
