Installing and Operating Passport ARN Routers

Using the ifconfig Command

A router interface cannot communicate in an IP network without an IP address. Because an ARN netboots over one of its serial, 56/64K DSU/CSU, Ethernet, or token ring links, the netboot interface must have a valid IP address.

You use the interface configuration command ifconfig to do the following:

•Configure the router’s initial IP interface to the network. (The initial IP interface should be a serial interface if you are using EZ-Install.) You also use the same procedure to configure other serial interfaces for the netbooting procedure.

•Configure Ethernet or token ring interfaces for the netbooting procedure.

•Enable or disable netbooting on an interface.

Configuring an IP Serial or 56/64K DSU/CSU Interface for Netbooting

Configure a serial or 56/64K DSU/CSU (COM) interface to the IP network using the following interface configuration command:

ifconfig [<synchronous_options>] <interface> [<IP_address> <subnet_mask> [<next_hop_address>]]

The synchronous options variable indicates some combination of the following settings:

[-d -r [56 64] -fr [-annexd -lmi -annexa]-int_clk]

Note: Make sure to separate command options with spaces.
