Description and Requirements
Local
The ARN obtains at least one startup file from a remote
or
workstation that is configured as a Trivial File Transfer
Network
Protocol (TFTP) server. You must specify the IP address
of the TFTP server and the complete path to the startup
files before booting.
This option requires a communications connection over
an HDLC, Frame Relay, Ethernet, token ring, or
DSU/CSU interface, and a local console connection.
Local
The ARN boots from a local software image and generic
startup configuration file. You create a customized
configuration file by running the Quick-Start script.
This option requires a local console connection.
