The
bconfig
commands let you specify the location of a startup file. To use
directed netboot, the location must includes the following information:
•
The source of the image and configuration files (local or network)
•
The address of the TFTP server
•
The full directory path description locating the files on the TFTP server
Write the commands in
Table 2-4
for your reference.
You can use the ARN monitor, Technician Interface, or Site Manager to perform
directed netboot. However, this guide assumes that you are using either the ARN
monitor or the Technician Interface. To manage the ARN from a remote site, refer
to Configuring Remote Access.
To use the directed netboot feature:
1.
Enter the
ifconfig
command (refer to
Table 2-3
) at the command line
prompt and press the Return key.
The following is a sample command:
ifconfig com1 9.0.0.2 255.0.0.0 9.0.0.3
Refer to Appendix A for more information about the
ifconfig
command.
2.
Enter the
bconfig
commands (refer to
Table 2-4
) at the command line
prompt and press the Return key.
You must enter one
bconfig
command to specify the location of the software
image, and another to specify the location of the configuration file.
