Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers1-14 308614-14.20 Rev 00This section reviews the options for initial startup and lists the requirements foreach startup option. “Selecting the Routine Startup Option” on page 1-16 providessimilar information for routine operation. “Steps for Completing Startup Options”on page 1-18 describes the procedure for configuring a startup option.EZ-InstallEZ-Install is the easiest option for the person at the router site to perform, becauseAN/ANH and ARN routers automatically begin the procedure at startup, and thenetwork automatically supplies the IP address and configuration file.The EZ-Install procedure requires the following at initial startup:• A communications link between the AN/ANH or ARN router and anupstream router over an HDLC or frame relay interface• A BootP server that contains a customized configuration file for the AN/ANHor ARN routerIf EZ-Install fails in an initial startup attempt, one of the following occurs:• An AN or ANH router attempts to boot once using the Local Boot option. Ifboth boot attempts fail, you must troubleshoot the problem and reboot therouter as described in Appendix B.• An ARN router first tries to local boot, and then tries to netboot. The ARNcontinuously attempts to local boot and netboot until it boots successfully, youturn off the ARN, or you interrupt the process in one of the following ways:-- Press the Reset button on the ARN back panel-- Type the [Control]-c break sequence at the management consoleLocal BootThe Local Boot procedure requires the following at initial startup:• An installed PCMCIA flash memory card that contains the software imagefile and a generic configuration fileNote: Even if you use the default option, EZ-Install, Nortel Networks stronglyrecommends that you connect a modem or a console to an AN/ANH or ARNrouter for initial startup. With a console connection, you can issue commandsto the router and display messages. This is very useful if you have networkproblems after installation.
