Setting Up a UNIX Boot Server

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

network to run Boot Protocol (BOOTP) and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).

This chapter describes what you need to do at a UNIX workstation to prepare for

booting an AN/ANH over the network.

When a router boots over the network, it gets its startup ﬁles from a UNIX server.

When the AN/ANH uses EZ-Install or Netboot, the server supplies conﬁguration

ﬁle and/or software image ﬁle pathnames using BOOTP. The AN/ANH then

retrieves the ﬁles using Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). When the AN/ANH

uses Directed Netboot, it already knows the pathnames of the ﬁles it needs and

retrieves the ﬁles directly from the server using TFTP.

Setting Up a BOOTP Server

To support EZ-Install or Netboot, an AN/ANH needs a network connection to a

BOOTP server. You conﬁgure a UNIX workstation as a BOOTP server by

• Setting up BOOTP sockets

• Conﬁguring BOOTPD (the BOOTP daemon)

To Conﬁgure This Boot Method Complete These Sections

EZ-Install “Setting Up a BOOTP Server”

and “Setting Up a

TFTP Server”

Netboot “Setting Up a BOO

TP Server”

and “Setting Up a

TFTP Server”

Directed Netboot “Setting Up a

TFTP Server”
