Troubleshooting Network Boot Problems

308614-14.20 Rev 00

B-9

 

Guidelines for Using Packet Capture

Use the Packet Capture utility to view incoming or outgoing BootP or TFTP 
packets and isolate errors to a specific router interface. This utility is available 
through the Technician Interface on routers running BayRS Version 7.80 or later.

See 

Using Technician Interface Software

 for instructions on how to use Packet 

Capture. See 

Configuring SNMP, BootP, DHCP, and RARP Services

 for a 

description of BootP packets.

Use Packet Capture as follows: 

1.

Test the BootP server’s next-hop router in the path to the AN/ANH or 
ARN

 

router. 

2.

Test the upstream router’s interface to the AN/ANH or ARN

 

router. 

3.

Test the upstream router’s interface to the next-hop router.

4.

Test the interfaces that receive and forward the BootP and TFTP packets 
of the routers between the AN/ANH or ARN

 

router and the next-hop 

router.

5.

Continue testing each router in the path until you isolate the problem 
interface.

Guidelines for Using a LAN Protocol Analyzer

See the following guidelines when you use a LAN protocol analyzer:

•

If the netboot is failing, connect the analyzer to the BootP server interface to 
determine whether it is receiving and responding to BootP and TFTP requests. 

To read the ASCII translation, view the BootP reply packets for the 
configuration file path name in hexadecimal mode. 

Note: 

The instructions that follow assume that BayRS Version 7.80 or later is 

running on all routers in the path between the AN/ANH or ARN router and the 
BootP server.

Note: 

The LAN protocol analyzer does not decode all of the vendor tag fields.
