Configuring an ARN Token Ring Interface for Network Booting

To configure an ARN token ring interface for network booting, enter the following command at the Technician Interface or AN Monitor prompt:

Note: The token ring interface must be configured with IP to support netboot options.

ifconfig [-d] [ -r<speed>]<interface> [<IP_address> <subnet_mask> [<next_hop_address>]]

Table 4-4 describes the ifconfig command options for configuring the ARN’s token ring interface.

Table 4-4.	ifconfig Command Options for an ARN Token Ring Interface
Option		Description
-d		Resets the ARN’s IP interface options to the default values. Resetting
		a token ring interface makes it inactive in the network booting process.
		(The output of the getcfg command shows the default as None.)
-r<speed>		Specifies the speed of the token ring interface. Specify either 16 or 4
		(Mb/s). The default is 16 Mb/s.
<interface>		Specifies the IP connector you are configuring. Use the format
		mau<port_no.>.
<IP_address>		Specifies the IP address of the interface you set with <interface>.
		Provide this address in dotted-decimal notation.
<subnet_mask>		Specifies the IP subnet mask of the interface you set with <interface>.
		Provide this address in dotted-decimal notation.
<next_hop_		Specifies the IP address of the next-hop router. Provide this address in
address>		dotted-decimal notation. Specify this address only if there are
		intermediate routers between the ARN and the BootP server.
