Chapter 2 Installing the Remote Annex 6300
The only boot information that RARP provides is the Remote Annex
6300’s Internet address. The ROMs save this information in the
inet_addr
parameter. The ROMs use default information for the
subnet mask and preferred load host. This means the ROMs will
broadcast their requests.
The host serving the Remote Annex 6300 its boot information must
be running on the same network as the Remote Annex 6300 because
the Remote Annex 6300 only broadcasts BOOTP and RARP queries.
If BOOTP and RARP fail, the Remote Annex 6300 transmits an IPX
Advertisement Request for Service and a MOP Multicast boot request.
If all requests fail, the Remote Annex 6300 returns to the ROM monitor
(if in Test mode) or continues the auto-initializing procedure
indefinately (if in normal mode).
Self-booting the Remote Annex 6300
The Remote Annex 6300 comes with Flash memory. Your device
already contains an operational image. You can check your Remote
Annex 6300’s configuration by entering the config command at the
Monitor prompt. The config command displays the current
configuration information and revision levels. If your device has Flash
ROM installed, the line FLASH PROM size: appears under the
REVISION/CONFIGURATION INFORMATION section.
