Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems

Configuring a Synchronous IP Interface for Netbooting

	To Netboot, you must first configure the router’s initial IP interface to the network,
	using the following interface configuration command:
	ifconfig [synchronous options] <interface> <ip_addr> <subnet_mask>
	[<next_hop>]
	[synchronous options] indicates some combination of the following settings:
	[-d -fr [ -annexd -annexa -lmi ] -int_clk]
	Note: You must insert a space to separate each command option from the next.
	After the initial configuration, you can use the same command format to configure
	other synchronous interfaces for Netbooting.
	Table A-1 describes the ifconfig command arguments for configuring a
	synchronous interface.
Table A-1.	The ifconfig Command Settings for a Synchronous Interface
Setting		Description
Default setting:
-d		Resets the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC IP interface settings to the default values. This
		setting tries four WAN configurations in the following order until it finds the correct type
		for the router’s connection to the network:
		1. Nortel Networks HDLC encapsulation (also referred to as Nortel Networks
		Standard Point-to-Point) with external clocking
		2. Frame Relay Annex D
		3. Frame Relay LMI
		4. Frame Relay Annex A
Frame Relay settings:
-fr		Configures the synchronous port as a Frame Relay connection. With this setting, use
		one of the following options to specify a DLCMI setting:
		-annexd,-annexa, or -lmi.
-annexd		When one of these options is used with the -frsetting, it specifies a DLCMI setting.
-annexa		Use the same setting as the network to which the router’s Frame Relay interface is
-lmi		connected. The default setting for Frame Relay is -annexd.
