Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers4-2 308614-14.20 Rev 00Using Netboot Configuration CommandsThis chapter provides instructions for using the ifconfig, bconfig, and getcfgcommands to configure Netboot and Directed Netboot.If you are not configuring the router yourself, you can determine the appropriatesyntax for these commands and provide the person at the router site with the exactcommand lines to use.To access a router command line, you need a management console connection tothe router. With a terminal or modem console connection, you can view routerdiagnostic messages and use the ifconfig and bconfig commands to configureNetboot and Directed Netboot. You use getcfg to verify a configuration.To display a command-line login prompt, you can do one of the following:• Wait for the router to local-boot (that is, wait for EZ-Install to fail).• Interrupt the startup process by issuing a break sequence. This automaticallystarts the AN Monitor, a firmware diagnostics monitor for routers.The break sequence depends on the management console you are using. Someterminals have specific break keys; others require a specific key sequence toissue a break (for example, [Control]-c or ~ #). See the documentation foryour terminal or PC terminal emulator for the correct break sequence.To log in to either the AN Monitor or the Technician Interface, enter Manager atthe login prompt.The Technician Interface or AN Monitor command-line prompt appears. Proceedto the appropriate section:• Setting the Boot Configuration• Setting the Netboot Interface ConfigurationNote: Be sure to issue the break sequence before EZ-Install completes.Note: Manager is case-sensitive; use an uppercase M.
