Selecting a Boot Configuration

1-13

Netboot

You can use Netboot if

• The ASN has a communications link to an upstream router over an Ethernet,

HDLC, or Frame Relay interface.

• The ASN has a local console or modem connection.

• A directory on a BOOTP server contains an ASN software image ﬁle and a

customized conﬁguration ﬁle.

• You provide a network conﬁguration ﬁle customized for the ASN.

• You conﬁgure an IP address for the ASN’s boot interface.

Netboot takes longer than EZ-Install, but minimizes the cost of line usage and

prevents saturation of the router’s memory.

Local Boot

When you use Local Boot as the initial boot option, the router boots a default

(generic) conﬁguration ﬁle. You must then complete the “Quick-Start” installation

script to customize the default conﬁguration ﬁle and save it locally. Refer to the

manual Quick-Starting Routers and BNX Platforms.

Recommendations

Even if you choose EZ-Install, we strongly recommend that you connect a modem

or a console to the router. With a console connection, you can issue commands to

the router and display messages. This is very useful if you have network problems

after installing the router.
