5.3.2 Loading Image Software from a BootP/TFTP Server
The RS 2100 contains a BootP client and can be configured to obtain its image software from a BootP/TFTP server.
Using the BootP client allows the RS 2100 to obtain its software network address from the server using only its MAC
address. This eliminates the need to initially configure the RS’s IP address, subnet mask, and boot source.
To configure the RS 2100 to use its BootP client to obtain its image software, perform the following procedure:
1. Load the RS 2100’s image software on a BootP/TFTP server that can be reached by the RS 2100.
2. Boot the RS 2100 and enter Boot mode by interrupting the normal startup sequence by pressing the
“Esc” key.
3. Use the
set
command to obtain the RS 2100’s MAC address.
Here is an example:
4. Use the
set
command to change the value of
autoboot
to
bootp
:
Here is an example:
5. Configure the BootP/TFTP server with the RS 2100’s MAC address, an appropriate IP address, and
the location of the RS 2100 software image file. Additionally, make sure that the ARP cache of the
BootP/TFTP server is set correctly for the RS 2100.
