Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers

Netboot and Directed Netboot Parameters

Parameter: Boot Image From Network

Path: Configuration Manager > Protocols > Global Protocols > Net Boot > Global Default: Disable

Options: Enable Disable

Function: Enables or disables retrieval of the boot image from the BootP server the next time the router starts up.

Instructions: Set to Disable if you want to boot using the image in the router’s local file system. This setting reduces the time it takes to boot the router and eliminates using network resources to obtain the image.

Set to Enable if:

You want the router to obtain the image from a BootP server and you have already set up the network to support BootP.

You are upgrading the image on several routers. The routers can then boot using a single image on the BootP server. Make sure that the directory name in the bootptab file matches the location of the upgraded image before you boot the routers.
