Nortel Networks AN/DC manual Configuring an Ethernet Interface for Netbooting, Intclk

		Configuring Netboot and Directed Netboot
Table A-1.	The ifconfig Command Settings for a Synchronous Interface (continued)
Setting		Description
Internal clocking setting:
-int_clk		Sets the synchronous port to internal clocking at 1.25 Mb/s. If you do not specify the
		-int_clksetting, the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC defaults to external clocking.
IP connector setting:
<interface>		Specifies the type of IP connector you are configuring. Use com1 or com2 (for
		synchronous media).
IP address settings:
<ip_addr>		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 selected with the <interface>
		setting. Provide this address in dotted decimal notation.
<next_hop>		Specifies the IP address of the next-hop router. Provide this address in dotted decimal
		notation. You need to specify this address only if there are intermediate routers
		between the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC and the BootP server.

Configuring an Ethernet Interface for Netbooting

To configure an Ethernet interface for Netbooting, use the following command format:

ifconfig [-d] <interface> [<ip_addr> <subnet mask>]

Table A-2 describes the ifconfig command arguments for configuring an Ethernet interface.

Setting

Description

Default setting:
-d	Resets the IP interface settings to the default values. Resetting an Ethernet interface
	makes it inactive in the Netbooting process.
	(The output of the getcfg command shows the default as “None.”)
IP connector setting:
<interface>	Specifies the type of IP connector you are configuring. Use xcvr1 or xcvr2 (for
	Ethernet media).
