Configuring an Ethernet Interface for Network Booting
To configure an Ethernet interface for network booting of a router, use the
following command format:
ifconfig [-s
<slot_no.>
] [-d]
<interface>
[
<IP_address> <subnet_mask>
[
<next_hop_address>
]]
Table 8-3 describes the
ifconfig command arguments for configuring the router’s
Ethernet interface.
<subnet_mask>
Specifies the IP subnet mask of the interface you selected
with the
<interface>
setting. Provide this address in dotted
decimal notation.
<next_hop_address>
Specifies the IP address of the next-hop router. Provide this
address in dotted decimal notation. You only need to specify
this address if there are intermediate routers between the
router and the BOOTP server.
Table 8-3. ifconfig Settings for an Ethernet Interface
Setting Description
Slot setting:
-s
<slot_no.>
Specifies the slot containing the interface you want to configure. The slot
corresponds to the ASN slot ID, which can be 1 through 4. If you omit this
argument, ifconfig uses the current slot.
Default setting:
-d Resets the router’s IP interface settings to the default values. Resetting an
Ethernet interface makes it inactive in the network booting process. (The output of
the getcfg command shows the default as “None.”)
IP connector setting:
<interface>
Specifies the type of IP connector you are configuring.
For the AN and ANH, use xcvr1.
For the ASN, use xcvr
<network_module_no.><port_no.>
.
