Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers

A-8 114200 Rev. A

bconﬁg Command Examples

1. Conﬁgure the default netboot procedure -- use a local image ﬁle and look for

the conﬁguration ﬁle over the network using BootP.

bconﬁg -d image (or bconﬁg image local)

bconﬁg -d conﬁg (or bconﬁg conﬁg network)

2. Use netboot for both the boot image and conﬁguration ﬁle.

bconﬁg image network

bconﬁg conﬁg network

3. Use a local conﬁguration ﬁle and directed netboot for the boot image ﬁle.

bconﬁg image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe

bconﬁg conﬁg local

4. Use a local boot image ﬁle and directed netboot for the conﬁguration ﬁle.

bconﬁg image local

bconﬁg conﬁg network 21.3.5.62 /usr/arnstartup/conﬁg

5. Use directed netboot for both the boot image and conﬁguration ﬁle.

bconﬁg image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe

bconﬁg conﬁg network 21.3.5.62 /usr/arnstartup/conﬁg

Verifying Your Conﬁguration

You can use the getcfg command to verify

• Whether the router is set to boot using a local or remote software image

• Whether the router is set to conﬁgure using a local or remote conﬁguration ﬁle

• The conﬁguration of any serial, DSU/CSU, Ethernet, and token ring

connectors

Enter the following command to display the ARN startup options:

getcfg
