Starting the ARN

You may not be able to use all methods described in this chapter to boot over some interfaces on your router. For example, you cannot netboot over an FT1/T1 interface. In some cases, you may use one interface to boot your router and then switch to a different interface (such as the FT1/T1 DSU/CSU) to establish your initial IP network connection to the management workstation.

Table 2-2 lists supported boot options by interface type.
