Booting a NETBuilder II Image over the Network 4-7

Procedure

To boot the NETBuilder II image over the network, follow these steps:

1Turn on the NETBuilder II system or press the two outer buttons on the LCD panel on the front of the chassis to reset the system.

2Enter Y when the system asks if you want to enter the monitor.

3From the NETBuilder monitor prompt (>), enter:

SF

The System Conﬁguration menu is displayed.

4Ensure that the System Conﬁguration entry number 3, Start-Up Action, is set to Try boot once.

If Start-Up Action is not set to Try boot once, follow these steps:

aFrom the System Conﬁguration menu, enter 3. The Start-Up Action menu is displayed.

bEnter 3 to select Try boot once and press the Return key.

The System Conﬁguration menu showing the Start-Up Action as Try boot once is displayed.

TFTP is a UDP-based function.Frames may be lost in transit. If this occurs, and the Start-Up Action is not set to Try boot once, lost frames can cause the boot process to continuously retry without success. Set the Start-Up Action to Try boot once to avoid this situation.

5From the System Conﬁguration menu, enter 4 to select Primary Boot Source. The Primary Boot Source menu is displayed.

6Enter 1 to select the Boot Device option, and enter 2 to set the Boot Device to Network.

You are then prompted to set the slot number and boot ﬁlename.

7Enter the slot number of the module that is used to reach the TFTP server.

If you have a 4-Slot chassis, your options are 1 through 4. If you have an 8-Slot chassis, your options are 1 through 8.

8Enter the image ﬁlename by entering the directory path and the ﬁlename relative to the tftpboot directory where the CEC boot image resides.

For example:

/image/NBII/SW/101/FF/boot.29k

You do not need to specify the /tftpboot directory because the TFTP server assumes the /tftpboot directory by default.

9Enter Q to return to the Primary Boot Source menu.

10Enter 5 to select the Boot Protocol option, and set the Primary Boot Protocol to TFTP. You are then prompted to set the TFTP Address Discovery Protocol.

11Set the TFTP Address Discovery Protocol to Local Conﬁgured Addresses.

12Enter Q to return to the Primary Boot Source menu.

13Enter 6 to select IP Addresses, and enter the primary IP addresses assigned to the TFTP client, TFTP server, gateway, remote ﬁle server, and subnet mask.
