  • Page 57: Starting The Arn

    The default configuration file is named config. Nortel Networks ships the executable and default configuration files on a PCMCIA flash card, but the ARN can also obtain them over the network. Getting a file over the network is called network booting, or netbooting. Getting a file from the router file system, stored in flash memory, is local booting.
  • Page 58 When you start the ARN for the first time, it completes an initial startup procedure to boot and connect to the network using either a default configuration file or one already customized and available on the network. You use one of four boot options to complete the initial software startup. summarizes the four options;...
  • Page 59 You may not be able to use all methods described in this chapter to boot over some interfaces on your router. For example, you cannot netboot over an FT1/T1 interface. In some cases, you may use one interface to boot your router and then switch to a different interface (such as the FT1/T1 DSU/CSU) to establish your initial IP network connection to the management workstation.

  • Page 62: Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, Or Local Boot

    Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot When you netboot or local boot the ARN, you must use a command line interface that accesses the router software. To use a command line interface, you can: • Wait for the ARN to local boot (that is, wait for the router to fail EZ-Install and then attempt to boot using its local configuration file).

  • Page 63: Logging In To The Command Line Software

    While the router is running the EZ-Install procedure, issue a break sequence from the management console. The ARN monitor login prompt appears. Note: Be sure to issue a break sequence before the boot process completes. Break sequences can vary, depending on the console type. Some management consoles have specific “Break”...
