4. Use a local boot image file and Directed Netboot for the configuration file.
bconfig image local
bconfig config network 21.3.5.62 /usr/anstartup/config
5. Use Directed Netboot for both the boot image and configuration file.
bconfig image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe
bconfig config network 21.3.5.62 /usr/anstartup/config
Configuring the Netboot Interface
A router interface cannot communicate in an IP network without an IP address.
Since an ASN Netboots over one of its synchronous or Ethernet links, the Netboot
interface must have a valid IP address.
You have two options for assigning an IP address to an interface:
• Use the Technician Interface
ifconfig command to manually configure a
synchronous or Ethernet interface for Netboot or Directed Netboot.
• Configure the upstream router to support automated addressing for EZ-Install.
Chapter 3 describes how to configure the upstream router to support
EZ-Install by creating the BOOTP Client Interface Table. “The Network Boot
Process” section in Chapter 1 describes how the router automatically obtains
an IP address during the EZ-Install process.
The following sections describe each use of the
ifconfig command.
Configuring an IP Synchronous Interface
Configure a synchronous interface to the IP network using the following interface
configuration command:
ifconfig
[-s
<slot no.> ] [synchronous options] <interface> [<IP address> <subnet
mask> [<next hop address>]
]
[synchronous options]
indicates some combination of the following settings:
[
-d | -fr [-annexd | -lmi | -annexa] | -int_clk]
Table 4-2 describes the
ifconfig command arguments for configuring an ASN
synchronous interface.
