Starting the AN and ANH

Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot

To netboot or local-boot the AN/ANH, you use a command interface to the router

software called the Diagnostic Monitor. (You can also use the Technician Interface

or Site Manager for the Directed Netboot procedure.)

The AN/ANH ships with its configuration source set to network and its image

source set to local. Using the Diagnostic Monitor, you change the default

configuration, bypassing the EZ-Install procedure. The Diagnostic Monitor

bconfig

command enables you to specify the source for the configuration file and

boot image.

Logging In to the Diagnostic Monitor

You begin the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot process by logging in to

the Diagnostic Monitor. Complete the following steps:

Install the AN or ANH and attached communications equipment as

described in Chapter 1 (AN) or Chapter 2 (8-port ANH).

Turn on the local management console.

For instructions on connecting a management console, see Chapter 1

(AN or

12-port ANH) or Chapter 2 (8-port ANH).

Make sure the flash memory card is installed as described in “Installing

the Flash Memory Card,” earlier in this chapter.

Press the power switch on the AN/ANH back panel to the On position.

After you turn the router on, your console displays the message

*****Testing Memory*****

with the amount of memory available.

Next, diagnostic software (AN Diagnostics) begins to test the router. The

console displays:

• Diagnostic software version

• Information about the AN or ANH hardware (model, revision, and serial

numbers)

• Size of flash memory and dynamic random access memory (DRAM)

• Results of diagnostic tests as each test completes

Figure 3-4

shows sample output from diagnostic tests.
