Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers
After you open the image file, the Image Builder automatically extracts the kernel image file, application files, and string files.
Keep the following in mind:
•Be sure to choose the correct image (an.exe for an AN/ANH, or arn.exe for an ARN). If you choose an image for another router type, you cannot generate the correct files.
•The kernel file and all of the application (.exe) files and string (.str) files must be from the same software image file. If these files are from different software versions, the router may fail to boot or may not operate properly.
2.If you use a different workstation as a BootP server, transfer to that workstation all of the files in the directory that contains the kernel file.
The router cannot netboot until the kernel file is available on the BootP server.
Enabling Netboot or Directed Netboot
By default, the router obtains the software image files from its local file system and its configuration file from a BootP server. You can use Site Manager to display and change these settings as follows:
