Configuring an Access Node as a Network Boot Client
5-3
bconfig Command Examples
1. Configure the default Netboot procedure — use a local image file and look for
the configuration file over the network using BOOTP.
bconfig -d image (or bconfig image local)
bconfig -d config (or bconfig config network)
2. Use Netboot for both the boot image and configuration file.
bconfig image network
bconfig config network
3. Use a local configuration file and Directed Netboot for the boot image file.
bconfig image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe
bconfig config local
4. Use a local boot image file and Directed Netboot for the configuration file.
bconfig image local
bconfig config network 21.3.5.62 /usr/anstartup/config
5. Use Directed Netboot for both the boot image and configuration file.
bconfig image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe
bconfig config network 21.3.5.62 /usr/anstartup/config
Configuring the Netboot Interface
A router interface cannot communicate in an IP network without an IP address.
Because an AN/ANH netboots over one of its synchronous or Ethernet links, the
Netboot interface must have a valid IP address.
You have two options for assigning an IP address to an interface:
• Use the Technician Interface
ifconfig command to manually configure a
synchronous or Ethernet interface for Netboot or Directed Netboot.
• Configure the upstream router to support automated addressing for EZ-Install.
Cha
pter 4 describes how to configure the upstream router to support
EZ-Install by creating the BOOTP client interface table. “T
he Boot Process”
section in Cha
pter 1 describes how the router automatically obtains an IP
address during the EZ-Install process.
The following sections describe each use of the
ifconfig command.
