Configuring Network Booting

3-3

Preparing an Image

If you want the ASN to automatically boot a network image when starting up

(using EZ-Install, Netboot, or Directed Netboot), you must use the Site Manager

Image Builder to change the default setting before you attempt to start up.

To use Image Builder:

1. On the Site Manager workstation, open the software image ﬁle in the

Image Builder.

Keep the following in mind:

• Be sure to select the correct image. If you select an image for another

router type, you cannot generate the correct ﬁles.

• If you configure the router to obtain its image from the network, it cannot

Netboot the image until the kernel image is available on the BOOTP

server.

• Make sure that you extract the software image and all the application

(.exe) ﬁles in the ASN directory. The ﬁles must be from the same software

image ﬁle whose components were created from the same version of

software. If these ﬁles are from different software versions, the router

may fail to boot or operate properly.

• Refer to Modifying Software Images for Routers for more instructions.

After you open the image file, the Image Builder automatically generates the

kernel image and application ﬁles.

By default, the Image Builder stores these files in /$HOME/.builder_dir/

rel

<rel>

/asn (where

<rel>

is the current router software release for the router).

For example, Version 3.00 of the Site Manager Image Builder tool stores

Version 9.00 ﬁles for an ASN in the /$HOME/.builder_dir/rel900/asn

directory.

For additional instructions on how to use the Image Builder, refer to

Modifying Software Images for Routers.

2. If you use a different workstation as a BOOTP server, transfer all of the

ﬁles in the directory that contains the kernel ﬁle to the new workstation.

Note: BNX software does not support Image Builder.
