Understanding Tools and Options
Directed Netboot
Complete the following steps for the Directed Netboot option:
1.Use the Configuration Manager in local mode to create 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 network server to support TFTP. (See Chapter 2.)
3.Install the router image and/or configuration files in the TFTP server’s file system. (See Chapter 2.)
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.
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 8.00 or later.
5.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.)
6.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 Chapter 4 and the hardware installation guide.)
7.The person at the AN/ANH or ARN router site boots the router. (See the hardware installation guide.)
The AN/ANH or ARN router obtains one or more startup files from the TFTP server. If the configuration file meets your network requirements, the router starts bridging and routing traffic.
8.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.)
