Configuring a Synchronous IP Interface for Netbooting
To Netboot, you must first configure the router’s initial IP interface to the network,
using the following interface configuration command:
ifconfig [
synchronous options
] <
interface
> <
ip_addr
> <
subnet_mask
>
[<
next_hop
>]
[
synchronous options
]
indicates some combination of the following settings:
[-d | -fr [ -annexd | -annexa | -lmi ]| -int_clk]
After the initial configuration, you can use the same command format to configure
other synchronous interfaces for Netbooting.
Table A-1
describes the
ifconfig
command arguments for configuring a
synchronous interface.
Note:
You must insert a space to separate each command option from the next.

Setting Description
Default setting:
-d
Resets the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC IP interface settings to the default values. This
setting tries four WAN configurations in the following order until it finds the correct type
for the router’s connection to the network:
1. Nortel Networks HDLC encapsulation (also referred to as Nortel Networks
Standard Point-to-Point) with external clocking
2. Frame Relay Annex D
3. Frame Relay LMI
4. Frame Relay Annex A
Frame Relay settings:
-fr
Configures the synchronous port as a Frame Relay connection. With this setting, use
one of the following options to specify a DLCMI setting:
-annexd
,
-annexa
, or
-lmi
.
-annexd
-annexa
-lmi
When one of these options is used with the
-fr
setting, it specifies a DLCMI setting.
Use the same setting as the network to which the router’s Frame Relay interface is
connected. The default setting for Frame Relay is
-annexd
.
