MultiPort/LT Boot Zone
In order for MultiPort/LT 1 to boot from the Macintosh connected to
MultiPort/LT 2, MultiPort/LT 1 must have its "BootZone" set to the Zone the
Mac is in. MultiPort/LT 2, being directly connected to the Mac does not need
this, although it will work OK if it is.
The Monitor command to set and change this parameter is:
configure bootzone
zonename
or
Conf> bootzone
New Bootzone [ ]: Freddy
Verify: 'Freddy' ... ok ? y
Conf>
If the "bootzone" parameter isn't entered the MultiPort/LT will only attempt to
boot from the Zones that it is directly connected to. If a "bootzone" is
configured, it will only use that Zone if the port it is attempting to boot from (it
cycles through the four LocalTalk ports and the EtherTalk one) has another
Router (such as another MultiPort/LT) on it.
If it fails to boot from "bootzone" on an interface, it retries with the default Zone
(designated "*").

Configure Bootpath Command
The FTP User Name, Password and Directory Path apply to FTP Booting only.
The default booting method for the MultiPort/LT is by "Anonymous ftp". This
involves initiating an FTP session and logging on as user "anonymous" or "ftp".
This is a "special case" restricted login.
