Configuring BayStack Remote Access
1-18

Directed Netboot is usually reserved for starting the BayStack router after the
initial startup because you need to know the exact location of the startup files.
During Directed Netboot, the BayStack router transfers files from a TFTP server
directly, bypassing negotiation with a BootP server for the IP address and path
names of the startup files.
Local Boot
Local-booting the startup files for routine startups allows you to:
• Minimize the time it takes the BayStack router to boot
In most configurations, however, the difference between the two options is
only a few seconds. Typically, local-booting takes two to three minutes.
• Minimize line usage
Obtaining files locally prevents an increase in network traffic during the
startup process.
When you choose the Local Boot option for routine startups, the BayStack router
reads the IP addresses from the local configuration file and assigns them to the
appropriate interfaces.
Steps for Completing Startup Options
This section summarizes the steps for completing these startup options:
• EZ-Install
• Netboot
• Directed Netboot
• Local Boot
You can use Netboot for some procedures and Local Boot for others, provided you
have set up the network to support Netboot.
Note:
To boot the BayStack router over the network, all routers in the path to
the BootP server must be running BayRS Version 7.60 or later.
