The host providing the RAC with boot information must be running on
the same subnet as the RAC because the RAC broadcasts BootP and
RARP queries using the "this network" IP address, 255.255.255.255.
If BootP and RARP fail, the RAC transmits an IPX Advertisement
Request for Service.
If all requests fail, the RAC returns to the ROM monitor (if in Setup mode)
or continues the autoinitialization procedure indefinitely (if in Normal
mode).
After the RAC has successfully initialized, it is ready to be booted. See
Booting Using BFS on page
Self-Booting the Remote Access Concentrator on page -27
information about booting the RAC.

Manually Initializing the IP Address Parameters

To configure the RAC for your specific needs, the IP address parameters
can be manually initialized by performing the following steps:
1. Enter the addr command at the monitor prompt.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter Internet address::
2. Enter the IP address for the RAC.
You are prompted to enter the server subnet mask, preferred
load host, preferred dump host, IP packet encapsulation, and
load broadcast flag. The defaults are listed after each prompt.
3. Modify the parameter next to each prompt, or press Return
to retain the current setting.
After the RAC has successfully initialized, it is ready to be booted. See
