If you do not have a flash memory drive or want to manage the software for one

TFTP/FTP Server

or more bridge/routers on a centralized server, you can boot from a Trivial File

 

Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server. Configuration files can be accessed from the same

 

workstation running a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server program.

Installing NETBuilder

Software on the

UNIX-based Network

Management Station

Network boot is not supported by the NETBuilder II bridge/routers with the DPE modules installed.

When you set up your NETBuilder bridge/router for network boot, you must configure your bridge/router to boot from a particular server by specifying the IP address of that server to the bridge/router. If you do not want to specify a particular server, you may configure your NETBuilder II bridge/router to use BOOTP, which discovers available TFTP servers on the local network by broadcasting BOOTP request packets. For more information about BOOTP, refer to Reference for NETBuilder Family Software.

This section describes how to install NETBuilder II bridge/router software on a UNIX-based network management station.

Prerequisites

To install the NETBuilder II bridge/router software image from a CD-ROM, the CD-ROM drive must reside either locally on the network management station or on another system on the network.

Before installing version 10.1 software from a CD-ROM, check that:

■Your network management station is running Solaris 2.4 or 2.5x, SunOS 4.1.4, HP-UX 9.0.5, 10.10 or 10.20, or IBM AIX 3.2.5, 4.1.4 or 4.2.

To verify the operating system environment you are running, enter: uname -a

The version message will refer to Solaris 2.5x as SunOS 5.5.

■You know the root password.

■There is sufficient disk space on the network management station for the amount of software you are installing.

Minimal disk storage requirements are dependent on the number of NETBuilder systems being installed. For dual image support allocate 40 MB for the NETBuilder Upgrade Management Utilities software image. For single image support, allocate 4 MB for each NETBuilder II system.

■The NETBuilder Upgrade Management Utilities released with this software package have been installed on the network management station. Refer to Upgrading NETBuilder Family Software for more information.
