Examples of bconfig Commands
• Configure the default Netboot procedure: use the local software image file
and look for the configuration file on the network using BootP.
bconfig -d image
(or
bconfig image local
)
bconfig -d config
(or
bconfig config network
)
• Use Netboot for both the software image file and configuration file.
bconfig image network
bconfig config network
• Use the local configuration file and Directed Netboot for the software image
file.
bconfig image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe
bconfig config local
• Use the local software image file and Directed Netboot for the configuration
file.
bconfig image local
bconfig config network 21.3.5.62 /usr/arnstartup/config
• Use Directed Netboot for both the software image file and configuration file.
bconfig image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe
bconfig config network 21.3.5.62 /usr/arnstartup/config
Verifying Your Configuration
You can use the get configuration command
getcfg
to verify:
• Whether the router is set to boot using a local or remote software image
• Whether the router is set to configure using a local or remote configuration
file
• The configuration of any serial, DSU/CSU, and Ethernet connectors
To display the ARN/DC startup options, enter the following command:
getcfg
