Appendix A Configuring the ARN for Netboot and Directed Netboot

This appendix describes how to configure the Passport ARN router for Netboot and Directed Netboot, as follows:

Topic

Using the ifconfig command

Using the bconfig command

Verifying your configuration

Page

A-2

A-7

A-8

The ifconfig and bconfig commands configure the ARN for netboot and directed netboot.

•Use the ifconfig command to configure the router initial IP interface to the network. You need this information to complete the procedure in “Continuing with Netboot” on page 2-8.

•Use the bconfig command to specify the location and name of the ARN software image file and the configuration file. You need this information to complete the procedure in “Continuing with Directed Netboot” on page 2-10.

To determine the appropriate ifconfig command and bconfig commands for the ARN at your site, contact your network administrator. (Your network administrator has information on these commands in Configuring Passport Remote Access.)
