Chapter 2

Setting Up a UNIX Boot Server

To support network booting, you need to set up a UNIX workstation on the

network to run BootP and TFTP. This chapter describes what you need to do at a

UNIX workstation to prepare for booting BayStack routers over the network.

When a BayStack router boots over the network, it obtains one or more of its

startup files from a UNIX server. When the BayStack router uses EZ-Install or

Netboot, the server supplies startup file path names using BootP. The router then

retrieves the files using TFTP. When the BayStack router uses Directed Netboot, it

already knows the path names of the files it needs and retrieves the files directly

from the server using TFTP.

Complete the appropriate sections of this chapter for the startup option you are

configuring:
