Nortel Networks 14.2 manual Local Boot Process, Establishing an IP Network Interface

Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers

Local Boot Process

When the AN/ANH and ARN routers boot locally, they read the kernel, application, and string files embedded in the an.exe or arn.exe software image file on the local PCMCIA flash memory card.

When you use Local Boot as the initial boot option, you boot a default (generic) configuration file. You must then run the Quick-Start installation script to customize the default configuration file. Running the installation script establishes an IP network interface between the router and a Site Manager workstation (Figure 1-6).

Appendix C briefly describes the procedure for customizing the default configuration file, provides worksheets for preparing to run the procedure, and explains how to begin the Quick-Start installation script.
