Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers
3-2 308614-14.20 Rev 00
Preparing Configuration and Image Files
AN/ANH and ARN routers ship with a flash memory card that contains a default
(generic) configuration file and the an.exe or arn.exe router software image. For
the AN/ANH and ARN routers in your network, you must create:
•A unique configuration file for each netbooting router
•A uniform software image for all netbooting routers

Creating Configuration Files

To prepare network configuration files:
1. Use the Configuration Manager in local mode to create a configuration
file for each router.
For instructions, see Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager.
Also, see the following:
•Tabl e 3-1 for the Site Manager module name to use when creating a
configuration file for AN routers
•Tabl es 3-2 through 3-4 for the module names to use when creating a
configuration file for ARN routers.
Site Manager identifies AN and ANH routers with module names that use
mnemonic abbreviations for each of the router ’s connectors. For example, the
module name E/T/2S identifies an AN with one Ethernet, one token ring, and two
serial interfaces. The module name 8ptEHub/3S/N11 DCM identifies an 8-port
ANH with a third serial interface and an RMON data collection module (DCM)
installed.
Note: For ARN routers, you choose base, expansion, and adapter modules
separately.
