J4350 and J6350 Services Router Getting Started Guide

Create a configuration file and place it on a TFTP server on the network. A
configuration file can be either of the following:

A host-specific file with the name hostname.conf where hostname is
the name of the Services Router.

A default configuration file with the minimum configuration necessary to
Telnet into the new Services Router for further configuration.

Physically attach the Services Router to the network using one or more of the
following interface types

Ethernet

Serial with HDLC encapsulation

If the DHCP response contains only the hostname for the TFTP server, add IP
address-to-hostname mapping for the TFTP server to a DNS database file.

To use an existing router to receive TFTP requests and forward them to
the TFTP server, add additional IP addresses of the hosts providing the
TFTP service.

If you choose to create a host-specific configuration file, you must
also complete the following tasks:

Configure the DHCP server to provide a configuration filename to the new
Services Router. This filename is then used to request a configuration file from
a TFTP server. Copy the host-specific configuration to the TFTP server.

Copy a default configuration file named network.conf to the TFTP server. This
file contains IP address-to-hostname mappings in the format ip host ip address
hostname
entries. If a host-specific configuration file is not specified by the
DHCP server, this file is used to create a hostname for the new Services Router.

Add the IP address-to-hostname mapping for the new Services Router to a
DNS database file.
