Table 8-1. Options for the bconfig Command
Option Description
image
Specifies information about the router’s software image
config
Specifies information about the router’s configuration file
local
Indicates that the specified file (image or config) resides in the
router’s local file system
network
Indicates that the specified file resides on a network server
<TFTP_host>
Specifies the IP address of the host where the image or
configuration file resides.
If both files reside on the network, they must also reside on the
same host. In other words, you must specify the same IP address
for the TFTP host for both files.
<TFTP_pathname>
Specifies the complete path name of the software image or
configuration file on the host
-d
Resets the default values for the software image or configuration
file, as follows:
bconfig -d image
tells the router to look for the image file locally
and nullifies the IP address and path name for the file
bconfig -d config
tells the router to obtain the configuration file
over the network, and nullifies the IP address and path name for
the file
Without the IP address and path names, the router uses Netboot
rather than Directed Netboot. However, if you want to get one file
locally while using Directed Netboot for the other file, use the
bconfig
commands as follows:
bconfig image local
bconfig config network 21.3.5.62 /usr/anstartup/config
or
bconfig image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe
bconfig config local
