Correcting Remote Annex 4000 Parameters
The following parameters must accurately reflect both the Remote
Annex 4000 and the network environment in which it operates. Verify
the Remote Annex 4000’s IP address using the addr command. If your
network configuration does not support the factory defaults, verify
the following parameters using the addr command:
❑
The broadcast address.
❑
The subnet mask.
❑
The load/dump gateway address (which must be specified
if the preferred load server host is located on another
network or subnet).
❑
The IP encapsulation type. Many systems have hardware
Ethernet interfaces that are IEEE 802.3 compliant, but very
few actually do 802.3 IP packet encapsulation. Use the
default, Ethernet, unless you know absolutely that your
LAN does 802.2/802.3 IP packet encapsulation.
Error Description
ARP errors Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) errors indicate
that the Remote Annex 4000 is configured to boot
from a specified host, but the host would not transmit
its Ethernet address to the Remote Annex 4000.
Possibly, the Remote Annex 4000 configuration
includes the wrong IP encapsulation.
ERPC layer
errors See Table 4-5 .
Aborts rx’d The host’s BFS transmitted an abort in response to the
Remote Annex’s Open Request. This often means that
the requested file does not exist on that server. Run
erpcd –D
on the host to obtain more information.
