The bconfig Command Options

 

 

 

 

Option

 

Description

 

 

 

 

image

 

Specifies information about the software image.

 

 

 

config

 

Specifies information about the configuration file.

 

 

 

local

 

Indicates that the specified file (image or config) resides in the router’s local file

 

 

system.

 

 

 

 

 

network

 

Indicates that the specified file resides on a network server.

 

 

 

<tftp_host>

 

Specifies the IP address of the host where the image or configuration file resides.

 

 

If both the software image and configuration file reside on the network, the files must

 

 

reside on the same host. In other words, you must specify the same IP address for

 

 

the tftp_host for both files.

 

 

 

<tftp_pathname>

 

Specifies the complete pathname of the software image or configuration file on the

 

 

host.

 

 

 

 

 

-d

 

Resets the default values for the software image or configuration file.

 

 

The command bconfig -d image tells the router to look for the image file locally and

 

 

nullifies the IP address and pathname for the file.

 

 

The command bconfig -d config tells the router to obtain the configuration file over

 

 

the network and nullifies the IP address and pathname for the file.

 

 

Without the IP address and pathnames, the router uses Netboot rather than Directed

 

 

Netboot. However, if you want to get one file locally while using Directed Netboot for

 

 

the other file, you can use the bconfig command as the following examples show:

 

 

bconfig

image

local

 

 

bconfig

config

network 21.3.5.62 /usr/anstartup/config

 

 

Or,

 

 

 

 

bconfig

image

network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe

 

 

bconfig

config

local
