Connecting ASN Routers and BNX Platforms to a Network
1-16
Completing a Network Boot Option
This section lists the steps required for
• EZ-Install
• Netboot
• Directed Netboot
To proceed with the Local Boot option, go directly to the manual Quick-Starting
Routers and BNX Platforms.
EZ-Install
The EZ-Install option requires the following steps:
1. You use the Configuration Manager in local mode to create a complete
configuration file for the router. (See Chapter 3 and the manual Configuring
Routers or Configuring Customer Access and Trunks (BNX Software),
depending on the type of installed software.)
2. You set up the network to support BOOTP. (See Chapter 2.)
3. You create a BOOTP relay interface table on the upstream router to support
automated addressing, and configure all routers between the BOOTP server
and the booting router as BOOTP relay agents. (See Chapter 2.)
4. The person at the ASN site installs and boots the router. (See the manual
Installing and Maintaining ASN Routers and BNX Platforms.)
5. The ASN gets a software image from the local file system, an IP address from
the upstream router, and the customized configuration file from the BOOTP
server. (Described in the previous section; no action required.)
Note: To boot an ASN over the network, the ASN must be running Router
Software Version 8.10 or later (or BNX Software Version 5.00 or later), and all
routers in the path between the ASN and the BOOTP server must be running
Version 7.60 (BNX 5.00) or later.
Note: To use EZ-Install over a Frame Relay circuit, make sure the upstream
router is running Router Software Version 7.80 or later (or BNX Software
Version 5.00 or later).
