Chapter 2 Starting the ARN This chapter describes how to start the BayStack ARN router, as follows: Topic Go to Understanding the startup process 2-1 Starting the ARN for the first time 2-4 Using EZ-Install 2-5 Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot 2-6 Where to go next 2-16 Understanding the Startup Process To operate, the ARN requires two files: a software image and a configuration file. Each time you start the ARN, it completes a process to load these files.
PAGE 58
Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers When you start the ARN for the first time, it completes an initial startup procedure to boot and connect to the network using either a default configuration file or one already customized and available on the network. You use one of four boot options to complete the initial software startup. Table 2-1 summarizes the four options; the sections that follow provide steps for completing each option. Table 2-1.
PAGE 59
Starting the ARN You may not be able to use all methods described in this chapter to boot over some interfaces on your router. For example, you cannot netboot over an FT1/T1 interface. In some cases, you may use one interface to boot your router and then switch to a different interface (such as the FT1/T1 DSU/CSU) to establish your initial IP network connection to the management workstation. Table 2-2 lists supported boot options by interface type. Table 2-2.
PAGE 60
Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers Starting the ARN for the First Time The ARN factory defaults are set to find the image file and configuration file from the following locations: • Image file -- on the local PCMCIA flash memory card • Configuration file -- over the network These default settings work with the default EZ-Install procedure.
PAGE 61
Starting the ARN Using EZ-Install EZ-Install is the default installation option provided by Bay Networks. This option requires that your network administrator has set up the network so that you can start the EZ-Install procedure. In addition, this option requires that you: • Install a flash memory card. For instructions, see “Installing the Flash Memory Card” on page 1-33. • Connect at least one serial (COM) interface to the network. For instructions, see “Connecting Communications Cables” on page 1-10.
PAGE 62
Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot When you netboot or local boot the ARN, you must use a command line interface that accesses the router software. To use a command line interface, you can: • Wait for the ARN to local boot (that is, wait for the router to fail EZ-Install and then attempt to boot using its local configuration file). After the ARN boots locally, you can log in to the Technician Interface and redefine the boot process.
PAGE 63
Starting the ARN 2. While the router is running the EZ-Install procedure, issue a break sequence from the management console. The ARN monitor login prompt appears. Note: Be sure to issue a break sequence before the boot process completes. Break sequences can vary, depending on the console type. Some management consoles have specific “Break” keys on their keyboards; other require a key sequence to issue a break (for example, Cntrl-C or ~ #).
PAGE 64
Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers Continuing with Netboot Note: Continuing with the netboot option requires that you have already logged in to either the ARN monitor or Technician Interface command line software. For instructions, see “Logging in to the Command Line Software” on page 2-7. To use the netboot option, you must have at least one serial, Ethernet, or token ring interface connected to the network.
PAGE 65
Starting the ARN The getcfg command shows the source location, either local or network, of the boot image file and the network configuration file. It also shows the interface configuration settings that you specified using the ifconfig command. If getcfg displays the correct information, continue to the next step. Otherwise, reenter the correct ifconfig command. If you need assistance, contact your network administrator. 3.
PAGE 66
Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers Continuing with Directed Netboot Note: Continuing with the netboot option requires that you have already logged in to either the ARN monitor or Technician Interface command line software. For instructions, see “Logging in to the Command Line Software” on page 2-7. You must have at least one serial, 56/64K DSU/CSU, Ethernet, or token ring interface connected to the network to use the directed netboot option.
PAGE 67
