Selecting a Boot Configuration
1-17
If the configuration file meets your network requirements, the ASN starts bridging
and routing traffic.
You can use the Site Manager Statistics Manager and Events Manager tools to
verify that the router is routing traffic according to the configuration you want.
(See the manual Managing Routers and BNX Platforms.)
Netboot
The Netboot 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 use Site Manager to enable BOOTP on each router interface in the path
between the router and the BOOTP server. (See Chapter 2.)
4. The person at the ASN site establishes a Technician Interface session (or you
establish a session via modem). (See the manual Installing and Maintaining
ASN Routers and BNX Platforms.)
5. The person at the ASN console uses the
bconfig and ifconfig commands to
configure a synchronous or Ethernet interface. (See Chapter 4 and the manual
Installing and Maintaining ASN Routers and BNX Platforms.)
6. You install the netboot.exe file in the BOOTP server’s file system, and make
sure the image and application files reside in the same directory.
(See Chapter 2.)
7. The person at the router site boots the router. (See the manual Installing and
Maintaining ASN Routers and BNX Platforms.)
After the router boots, it gets a configuration file from a BOOTP server and
loads the software image from the local file system.
Note: On a Frame Relay circuit, make sure the upstream router software is
Version 7.71 or later (or BNX Software Version 6.00 or later).
