• IP encapsulation type. All systems that have Ethernet
interfaces are IEEE 802.3 compliant, but very few actually
use 802.3 (LLC/SNAP) packet encapsulation. Use the
default, Ethernet, unless you know for certain that your LAN
uses IEEE 802.2/802.3 (LLC/SNAP) packet encapsulation.
You can use the defaults for the name of the image file containing the
RAC's software and the address of the preferred load server host. If the
value for the image name is incorrect, the RAC cannot boot. Correct the
name using the image command. If the address for the preferred load
server host is incorrect, the boot takes longer, because the RAC has to
broadcast for a host. Correct the load host's address using the addr
command.
Confirm that the RAC's boot parameters are correct by using the
appropriate ROM Monitor commands. Modify any boot parameters that
are incorrect or missing. Boot the RAC by entering the boot command
at the console terminal, or by resetting the unit.

Load Server Host Not Responding

The RAC can boot from one of the following hosts acting as a load server
host:
• A UNIX host on the LAN using BFS via erpcd
• Another Remote Access Concentrator using BFS
• Any host (UNIX or other) using tftp
• A Windows NT host using BFS via erpcd
The following subsections discuss troubleshooting for some of these load
server hosts.
