Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers

Creating the BootP Client Interface Table
The upstream router is the booting router’s next-hop router. By default, the
booting router’s synchronous interfaces automatically try to obtain IP addresses
from the upstream router. This is the EZ-Install proce ss.
If the AN/ANH or ARN router using EZ-Install obtains its address from the
upstream router, and the upstream router’s interface to the AN/ANH or ARN
router is a Frame Relay PVC in group access mode, you must use Site Manager to
connect to the upstream router and create a BootP client interface table (in
addition to a BootP relay agent forwarding table).
The BootP client interface table allows you to specify and pair the IP address of
the AN/ANH or ARN router with the DLCI of the Frame Relay group access
PVC.
For more information about the DLCI and Frame Relay, see Configuring Frame
Relay Services.
Note: You do not need to create a BootP client interface table if the Frame
Relay PVC is configured to operate in direct ac cess mode, or if the circuit is
configured to operate with Nortel Networks Standard PPP (HDLC
encapsulation).
Note: If you are using EZ-Install over Frame Relay, you can have up to 20
PVCs for a single Frame Relay interface on the upstream router. If you have
more than 20 PVCs on the Frame Relay interface, the EZ-Install process may
fail. To ensure that the process does not fail, configure a maximum of 20 PVCs
for a Frame Relay interface.
