Configuring Initial Interfaces and Netboot Operation
You can use the
ifconfig
command to do the following:
• Configure the router’s initial IP interface to the network. You also use the
same procedure to configure other synchronous interfaces for the network
booting procedure.
• Configure Ethernet interfaces for the network booting procedure.
• Enable or disable network booting on an interface.
The following sections describe each use of the
ifconfig
command.
Configuring the Initial IP Synchronous Interface
To Netboot the router, you must first configure the router’s initial IP synchronous
interface to the network, using the following interface configuration command:
ifconfig
[
-s
<slot_no.> ] <synchronous_options> <interface> [ <IP_address>
<subnet_mask> [ <next_hop_address> ]]
<synchronous_options> indicates some combination of the following settings:
[
-d
|
-fr
[
-annexd
|
-lmi
|
-annexa
]
|
-int_clk
]
You can use the same command format to configure other synchronous interfaces
on the router for network booting.
Table 8-2
describes the
ifconfig
command arguments for configuring a router’s
synchronous interface.
Note:
You must separate command options with spaces.
