Configuring an ARN Token Ring Interface for Network Booting
To configure an ARN token ring interface for network booting, enter the following
command at the Technician Interface or AN Monitor prompt:
ifconfig
[
-d
] [
-r
<
speed
>]
<interface>
[
<IP_address> <subnet_mask>
[
<next_hop_address>
]]
Table 4-4
describes the
ifconfig
command options for configuring the ARN’s
token ring interface.
Note:
The token ring interface must be configured with IP to support netboot
options.
Table 4-4.

a token ring interface makes it inactive in the network booting process.
(The output of the
getcfg
command shows the default as None.)
-r
<speed>
Specifies the speed of the token ring interface. Specify either

4
(Mb/s). The default is 16 Mb/s.
<interface>
Specifies the IP connector you are configuring. Use the format

<IP_address>
Specifies the IP address of the interface you set with
<interface>.
Provide this address in dotted-decimal notation.
<subnet_mask>
Specifies the IP subnet mask of the interface you set with
<interface>.
Provide this address in dotted-decimal notation.
<next_hop_
address>
Specifies the IP address of the next-hop router. Provide this address in
dotted-decimal notation. Specify this address only if there are
intermediate routers between the ARN and the BootP server.
