Continuing with Netboot
You must have at least one serial, Ethernet, or token ring interface connected to
the network to use the netboot option. Before you start the netboot procedure, ask
your network administrator to
• Verify that the network is set up for the netboot procedure.
• Provide you with the interface configuration command ( ifconfig ) to use in
Step 4.
The ifconfig command configures the parameters necessary to load the software
image and configuration files from a remote server over the network. Write the
command in
Table 2-2 for your reference.
You can use the ARN Monitor, Technician Interface, or Site Manager to perform
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.
Note: Continuing with the netboot option requires that you have already
logged in to the Technician Interface or ARN monitor command line software.
Refer to the previous section, “Logging in to the Command Line Software,”
for instructions.
Note: Refer to Appendix A for more information about the ifconfig command.
