Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers

Netboot
Complete the following steps for the Netboot option:
1. Use the Configuration Manager in local mode to c reate a complete
configuration file for the AN/ANH or ARN 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. Use Site Manager to enable BootP on each router interfa ce between the router
and the BootP server. (See Chapter 3.)
4. Ensure that there is a network connection from a synchronous, Ethernet, or
token ring (ARN only) interface on the AN/ANH or ARN router to the
upstream router.
5. Install the kernel and application files in the Boo tP server’s file system, and
make sure that they reside in the same directory. (SeeChapter 2.)
6. The person at the AN/ANH or ARN router site establishes a Technician
Interface session, or you establish a session using a modem. (See the hardware
installation guide.)
7. The person at the AN/ANH or ARN router console uses the bconfig and
ifconfig commands to configure a synchronous, Ethernet, or token ring (ARN
only) interface. (See Chapter4 and the hardware installation guide.)
8. The person at the AN/ANH or ARN router site boots the router. (See the
hardware installation guide.)
After the AN/ANH or ARN router boots, it obtains at least one startup file
from the BootP server. If the configuration file meets your network
requirements, the router starts bridging and routing traffic.
9. 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: 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
7.71 or later.
