Connecting BayStack AN and ANH Systems to a Network
C-2 114074 Rev. A
• If the AN/ANH will have small routing or forwarding tables, you can increase
performance by reducing local memory and allocating more global memory
for buffers. If the AN/ANH will have large tables (for example, more than 500
servers), you might want to increase the local memory allocation.
Notes
• If you use TFTP to transfer the software image file to upgrade or restore the
router’s file system, be sure to specify the AN/ANH image (an.exe).
• Bay Networks supports BOOTP service on UNIX workstations, but not PCs.
If you want to use Netboot and you are using a PC as your Site Manager
workstation, transfer the files you want to Netboot from the PC to a UNIX
workstation and configure the workstation as a BOOTP server.
• You cannot use EZ-Install or Netboot directly from a Token Ring or FDDI
interface.
• You need Version 8.10 or higher to perform Directed Netboot.
• If you have a LAN protocol analyzer available, you may want to use it to
troubleshoot BOOTP server communication errors. (Appendix A provides
guidelines for using Packet Capture and an analyzer to isolate these errors.)
• Versions prior to 7.80 do not include the Technician Interface Packet Capture
utility.
• The 12-port ANH polls the internal repeater module for operation status; it
does not poll individual Ethernet repeater ports for connection (link) status.
Therefore, the 12-port ANH is aware of the connection between the base
board and repeater module, but is not aware of any connection between the
repeater module and the Ethernet network. If the repeater module interface
state reports an operational status, the 12-port ANH may continue to transmit
information through the repeater module even though a physical Ethernet
connection does not exist.
• You can issue a
boot command from the Diagnostic Monitor prompt and
specify a local boot by using
1: as the volume name.
• When at the diagnostic prompt, you cannot view the contents of Flash
memory. Be extremely careful to remember the name of the configuration file
when doing a named boot from the Diagnostic Monitor prompt.
