* When you netboot a router, the value of Boot Image Pathname is the full path name of the active
image on the remote server. When you boot a router locally, the name of the active image
(wfHwEntry.wfHwActiveImageName) appears in the form <
volume>:<image name>.
Note:
Instead of enabling the Boot Image From Network parameter, you can
use the Router Files Manager tool to transfer an upgraded image file to the
router. To do this, delete the old image file, compact the file system, and copy
the upgraded image file to the router. To verify that the file transfer was
successful, use the Router Files Manager to confirm that the new image file on
the router is the same size as that on the Site Manager workstation. For more
information about the Router Files Manager, see
Configuring and Managing
Routers with Site Manager
.
Note:
Before the router can obtain files over the network, you must set up a
UNIX BootP server on the network, as described in Chapter 2.
