Record the line that looks like:
dialup iface speed bps
3. Remove the current boot diskette from the diskette drive.
4. Verify that the write-protect “window” on the release 4.2 boot diskette is closed, allowing information
to be written to the disk. Insert the release 4.2 boot diskette into the diskette drive and enter:
config save
5. Reboot the system by entering:
reboot
Ignore any dialup error messages that may be displayed on the screen.
6. Perform this step, depending on whether you have access to the boot diskette and a DOS-based PC,
or are using ftp over a TCP/IP network to transfer the script to another host (for editing).
If you have the boot diskette and prefer to use a DOS host ...
Put the 4.2 diskette back into the Router and log in to the Router as root. Continue to Step 7.
If you do not have the boot diskette and prefer to use a host over a TCP/IP network...
Restore the dialer script. To do this, ftp (IP required) from the host computer to the Router. Log onto
the Router as root. Transfer the saved dialer script files using the put option of ftp. They will be stored on
the boot diskette.
For example, on a Sun UNIX system, issue the following command:
ftp nh_ipaddr
Use the put option of ftp as follows:
ftp> bin
ftp> put /tmp/netbl.dcf \netbl.dcf
ftp> quit
The script is now restored on the Router.
7. If in Step 2, you saw a line that looked like
dialup iface speed bps
then enter ifconfig iface speed bps. (Don’t use the dialup iface speed bps command.)
8. Save the new configuration by entering:
config save
9. Log off of the Router by entering:
logoff
