Setting Up a UNIX Boot Server
To support network booting, you need to set up a UNIX workstation on the
network to run Boot Protocol (BOOTP) and Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(TFTP). This chapter describes what you need to do at a UNIX workstation to
prepare for booting an AN/ANH over the network.
When a router boots over the network, it gets its startup files from a UNIX server.
When the AN/ANH uses EZ-Install or Netboot, the server supplies configuration
file and/or software image file pathnames using BOOTP. The AN/ANH then
retrieves the files using Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). When the AN/ANH
uses Directed Netboot, it already knows the pathnames of the files it needs and
retrieves the files directly from the server using TFTP.
Setting Up a BOOTP Server
To support EZ-Install or Netboot, an AN/ANH needs a network connection to a
BOOTP server. You configure a UNIX workstation as a BOOTP server by
• Setting up BOOTP sockets
• Configuring BOOTPD (the BOOTP daemon)
To Configure This Boot Method Complete These Sections
