You can use Netboot for some procedures and Local Boot for others, provided you
have set up the network to support Netboot.
EZ-Install
Complete the following steps for the EZ-Install option:
1.
Use the Configuration Manager in local mode to create a complete
configuration file for the router. (See Chapter 3 and
Configuring and
Managing Routers with Site Manager
.)
2.
Set up a UNIX workstation on the network to support BootP. (See Chapter 2.)
3.
Create a BootP client on the upstream router to support automated addressing,
and configure all routers between the BootP server and the AN/ANH or ARN
router as BootP relay agents. (See Chapter 3.)
4.
Ensure that there is a network connection from a synchronous interface on the
AN/ANH or ARN router to the upstream router.
5.
A person at the AN/ANH or ARN router site installs and turns on the router.
(See the model-specific hardware installation guide.)
The AN/ANH or ARN router obtains a software image from its local file
system, an IP address from the upstream router, and the customized
configuration file from the BootP server. (“
The Boot Process
” on
page 1-5
describes this process; no action is required.)
If the configuration file meets your network requirements, the AN/ANH or
ARN router starts bridging and routing traffic.
6.
Use the Site Manager Statistics Manager and Events Manager tools to verify
that the AN/ANH or ARN router is routing traffic as specified in the
configuration file. (See
Configuring and Managing Routers with Site
Manager
.)
Note:
To boot an AN/ANH or ARN router over the network, all routers in the
path to the BootP server must be running BayRS Version 7.60 or later.
Note:
If the AN/ANH or ARN router will connect to the upstream router over
a frame relay circuit, ensure that the upstream router is running BayRS Version
7.80 or later.
