You can use Netboot for some procedures and Local Boot for others, provided you
have set up the network to support Netboot.
EZ-Install
Complete the following steps for the EZ-Install opti on:
1. Use the Configuration Manager in local mode to c reate a complete
configuration file for the router. (See Chapter 3 and Configuring and
Managing Routers with Site Manager.)
2. Set up a UNIX workstation on the network to support BootP. (SeeChapter 2.)
3. Create a BootP client on the upstream router to support automated addressing,
and configure all routers between the BootP server and the AN/ANH or ARN
router as BootP relay agents. (See Chapter3.)
4. Ensure that there is a network connection from a synchronous interface on the
AN/ANH or ARN router to the upstream router.
5. A person at the AN/ANH or ARN router site installs and turns on the router.
(See the model-specific hardware installation guide.)
The AN/ANH or ARN router obtains a software image from its local file
system, an IP address from the upstream router, and the customized
configuration file from the BootP server. (“The Boot Process” on page1-5
describes this process; no action is required.)
If the configuration file meets your network requirements, the AN/ANH or
ARN router starts bridging and routing traffic.
6. Use the Site Manager Statistics Manager and Events Manager tools to verify
that the AN/ANH or ARN router is routing traffic as specified in the
configuration file. (See Configuring and Managing Routers with Site
Manager.)
Note: To boot an AN/ANH or ARN router over the network, all routers in the
path to the BootP server must be running BayRS Version 7.60 or later.
Note: If the AN/ANH or ARN router will connect to the upstream router over
a frame relay circuit, ensure that the upstream router is running BayRS Version
7.80 or later.
