Starting the ARN
The getcfg command shows the source location, either local or network, of the boot image file and the network configuration file. It also shows the interface configuration settings that you specified using the ifconfig command.
If getcfg displays the correct information, continue to the next step. Otherwise, reenter the correct ifconfig command. If you need assistance, contact your network administrator.
3.Enter the following command and press the Return key to boot the ARN: boot
Your console displays messages indicating the progress of the netboot procedure.
Note: If the ARN cannot find a software image file or a configuration file using the netboot procedure, it attempts to local boot once. If both attempts fail, the ARN continues to netboot and local boot until it boots successfully. If the ARN remains in this loop, follow the steps in “Interrupting the Boot Process” on page
4.Ensure that the ARN boots correctly and successfully connects to the network.
When the ARN boots, its LEDs flash in a particular order. To ensure that the installation was successful, see “Ensuring a Successful Installation” on page
Contact your network administrator to verify that the ARN is now connected to the network. Your network administrator can refer to Configuring Passport Remote Access to troubleshoot any problems.
If you need additional assistance, contact your local Nortel Networks Technical Solutions Center.
Note: After connecting the ARN to the network, you can replace the local management console with a modem connection to enable remote
