Configuring Network Booting
114074 Rev. A 4-5
Netboot and Directed Netboot Parameters
Parameter: Boot Image From Network
Default: Disable
Options: Enable
| Disable
Function: Enables or disables retrieval of the software image from the BOOTP
server the next time the router starts up.
Instructions: Set to Disable if you want to boot using the image in the router’s local file
system. This setting reduces the time it takes to boot the router and
eliminates using network resources to obtain the image.
Set to Enable if
– You want the router to obtain the image from a BOOTP server and
you have already set up the network to support BOOTP service.
– You are upgrading the image on a number of routers. The routers can
then boot using a single image on the BOOTP server. You must
ensure that the directory name in the bootptab file matches the
location of the upgraded image before you boot the routers.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.10.1.1
Note: Of the five parameter fields shown in Figure 4-1, the first two (Boot
Image From Network and Boot Config From Network) apply to both Netboot
and Directed Netboot. The last three parameters are for Directed Netboot only.
Note: As an alternative to enabling the Boot Image From Network parameter,
you can use the Router Files Manager to transfer an upgraded image to the
AN/ANH. To do this, delete the old software image file, compact the file
system, and copy the upgraded image file to the AN/ANH. Use the Router
Files Manager to confirm that the upgraded image on the router is the same
size as that on the Site Manager workstation. This verifies that the file transfer
was successful. Refer to Managing Routers and BNX Platforms for more
information on the Router Files Manager.
