To support network booting, you need to set up a UNIX workstation on the
network to run BootP and TFTP. This chapter describes what you need to do at a
UNIX workstation to prepare AN/ANH and ARN routers for booting over the
network.

What to Do Next
When AN/ANH and ARN routers boot over the network, they obtain one or more
of its startup files from a UNIX server. When AN/ANH and ARN routers use
EZ-Install or Netboot, the server supplies startup file path names using BootP. The
routers then retrieve the files using TFTP. When AN/ANH and ARN routers use
Directed Netboot, they already know the path names of the files they need and
retrieve the files directly from the server using TFTP.

configuring:
