Setting the Netboot Interface Configuration

This section describes how to use the
or ARN router interface to support netboot options.
An AN/ANH or ARN router netboots over one of its serial, Ethernet, or token ring

communicate in an IP network, the netboot interface must have a valid IP address.
You have two options for assigning an IP address to an interface:
