Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers

Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot
You must use a command line interface that accesses the router software when
you netboot or local boot the ARN. To use a command line interface, you can
• Wait for the ARN to local boot (that is, wait for the router to fail EZ-Install
and then attempt to boot using its local configuration file). After the ARN
boots locally, you can log in to the Technician Interface and redefine the boot
process.
• Interrupt the boot process using a break sequence and log in to the ARN
monitor to redefine the boot process.
Using the netboot, directed netboot, or local boot options requires that you
• Connect any necessary communications cables to access the network.
• Connect a management console.
• Connect the ARN power cable.
• Install a Flash memory card.
Refer to Chapter 1 for instructions on how to perform these tasks.
Interrupting the Boot Process
Interrupting the boot process automatically starts the ARN monitor. Using the
ARN monitor allows you to bypass the EZ-Install procedure.
To interrupt the boot process:
1. Press the power switch on the ARN back panel to the On position.
As the router powers on, your console displays the ARN diagnostic tests.
After successfully completing these tests, the router begins the EZ-Install
procedure and attempts to boot over the network.
Note: Before you power on the ARN, make sure that you have installed the
router and connected the necessary management console equipment (refer to
Chapter 1 for instructions).
