Connecting BayStack AN and ANH Systems to a Network
5-2 114074 Rev. A
This chapter provides instructions for using the ifconfig and bconfig commands
to configure Netboot and Directed Netboot. If you are not configuring the
AN/ANH yourself, you can determine the appropriate syntax for these commands
and provide the person at the router site with the exact command lines to use.
Configuring the Router Boot Source
To use Netboot, you use the bconfig command to specify that the AN/ANH
configuration file or software image resides on the network. To use Directed
Netboot, you use the
bconfig command to specify the IP address of the server and
the full pathname to the software image and configuration file.
bconfig Command Format
To configure an interface for Netboot, use the following format for the bconfig
command:
bconfig -d [image|config] network
To configure an interface for Directed Netboot, use the following format:
bconfig [image|config] network [
<TFTP host> <TFTP pathname>
]
You must use the bconfig command twice: once to specify the location of the
software image, and again to specify the location of the configuration file.
Refer to
Table 5-1 for a complete description of the bconfig command.
Table 5-1. bconfig Command Settings
