Installing Software on
an RBCS Server
3Com’s Remote Boot and Configuration Service (RBCS) is network
control server software that runs on the Sun
™
SPARC
™
systems product
line using SunOS
™
4.1 or later. It provides network control services to
3Com communications servers and internetworking servers (client
servers) running the TCP/IP protocols.
CS/2500 series software for RBCS servers is supplied on a distribution
diskette. To install or upgrade this software, refer to the Multiprotocol
Communications Server Operation Guide or software release notes.
Installing Software on
a Generic TFTP/FTP
Host
The communications server can boot from any network that supports a
TFTP server (for the system image) and an FTP server (for the
configuration images). The TFTP and FTP servers will most likely be on
the same host, but this is not a requirement for operation.
CS/2500 series software for TFTP/FTP servers is supplied on a
distribution diskette in 3.5-inch DOS or UNIX tar format. To install this
software, refer to the Multiprotocol Communications Server Operation
Guide or software release notes.
Booting from an
RBCS Server
The following steps describe how to boot the communications server
from an RBCS server:
1 Make sure the communications server is turned off.
2 If the communications server is not already connected to a transceiver,
connect a transceiver cable between the server and transceiver. Make
sure the transceiver is connected to the network.
3 Configure the RBCS server to support boot of the communications
server.
4 Turn on the communications server.
All LEDs on the front panel light briefly when the server is turned on.
The Power and Self Test LEDs should remain on after the others turn
off. If the Power and Self Test LEDs fail to light or do not remain on,
turn off the server by pressing the O side of the power switch. Verify
that the power cord is connected properly to a working outlet, then turn
