Nortel Networks Passport ARN Routers manual Continuing with Local Boot the Quick-Start Procedure

Starting the ARN

6.Ensure that the ARN is successfully connected to your network.

To verify that the ARN is now connected to the network, contact your network administrator. To troubleshoot any problems, your network administrator can refer to Configuring Passport Remote Access.

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 management console connection with a modem connection to enable remote dial-in access.

Continuing with Local Boot (the Quick-Start Procedure)

Note: Continuing with the netboot option requires that you have already logged in to either the ARN monitor or Technician Interface command line software. For instructions, see “Logging in to the Command Line Software” on page 2-7.

You can use either the ARN monitor or the Technician Interface to configure the ARN to local boot. However, you must use the Technician Interface to run the Quick-Start script.

Note: Before starting the local boot procedure, ask your network administrator to assist you in completing the Quick-Start worksheets in Appendix B.

To use the local boot feature:

1.At the command line prompt, type the following command and press the Return key to configure the ARN to use its local config file:

bconfig config local

Note: Since the default setting for finding the software image is local; you do not have to change this setting for the local boot option.
