Booting the Router Routinely

This section compares the Netboot, Directed Netboot, and Local Boot options to

help you choose a boot conﬁguration for routine startups.

Netboot

Using Netboot for routine startups allows you to

• Manage software image and conﬁguration ﬁles from a remote location by

storing them on the BOOTP server.

This option greatly simpliﬁes the management of a number of routers by

allowing you to concentrate on keeping the startup ﬁles up to date in a single,

central location — the BOOTP server.

• Minimize the need to maintain the router’s local ﬁle system.

When the router gets files from a BOOTP server, it stores the files in memory,

not in its file system, reducing the need for frequent file system compactions.

(Refer to Using Technician Interface Software or Managing Routers and BNX

Platforms to learn about file system compaction.)

• Get application ﬁles from the BOOTP server as the ASN needs them.

Getting these ﬁles individually, rather than getting the entire asn.exe file,

minimizes the cost of line usage and prevents saturation of the router’s

memory.

One disadvantage of Netboot is that it requires the most time to boot the router.

Directed Netboot

Directed Netboot reduces network trafﬁc and is generally faster than normal

Netboot. On routine startups, the router bypasses the original Netboot BOOTP

negotiation with the BOOTP server for the IP address, software image ﬁle, and

conﬁguration ﬁle, entering the ﬁle transfer phase directly, at which time the TFTP

server transfers the startup ﬁles to the router.

Note: You can use Netboot for some procedures and Local Boot for others,

provided you set up the network to support Netboot.
