Configuring the Router Boot Source
To use Netboot, you use the
bconfig
command to specify the IP address of the
server where the ASN configuration file or software image resides. To use
Directed Netboot, you use the
bconfig
command to specify the IP address of the
server and the full pathname of the software image and configuration file.
bconfig Command Format
To configure an interface for Netboot, use the following format of the
bconfig
command:
bconfig -d
[
image|config
] [
local|network
]
To configure an interface for Directed Netboot, use the following format:
bconfig
[
image|config
] [
local|network
[
<TFTP host> <TFTP pathname>
]]
You must use the
bconfig
command twice: once to specify the location of the
software image, and again to specify the location of the configuration file.
Refer to Table 4-1
for a complete description of the
bconfig
command.
Note:
The
ifconfig
and
bconfig
commands will commit the MIB when you
execute them; therefore, you should not use them if you do not want a MIB
commit. (The
getcfg
command does not commit the MIB.)
Caution:
For an ASN to perform a successful Netboot, you must use the same
bconfig
setting for each slot in the stack; otherwise, the ASN will behave
unpredictably. If the settings are not the same, reset them before booting the
router. If the settings differ, the
getcfg
command detects this and displays each
different setting. If the settings are the same, you will see only one setting on
your screen display.
