Configuring an Ethernet Interface for Netbooting
To configure an Ethernet interface for Netbooting, use the following command
format:
ifconfig [-d] <
interface
> [<
ip_addr
> <
subnet mask
>]
Table A-2 describes the
ifconfig
command arguments for configuring an Ethernet
interface.
Internal clocking setting:
-int_clk
Sets the synchronous port to internal clocking at 1.25 Mb/s. If you do not specify the
-int_clk
setting, the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC defaults to external clocking.
IP connector setting:
<
interface
> Specifies the type of IP connector you are configuring. Use
com1
or
com2
(for
synchronous media).
IP address settings:
<
ip_addr
> Specifies the IP address of the interface you set with
<interface>
. Provide this address
in dotted decimal notation.
<
subnet_mask
> Specifies the IP subnet mask of the interface you selected with the
<interface>
setting. Provide this address in dotted decimal notation.
<
next_hop
> Specifies the IP address of the next-hop router. Provide this address in dotted decimal
notation. You need to specify this address only if there are intermediate routers
between the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC and the BootP server.

Setting Description
Default setting:
-d
Resets the IP interface settings to the default values. Resetting an Ethernet interface
makes it inactive in the Netbooting process.
(The output of the
getcfg
command shows the default as “None.”)
IP connector setting:
<
interface
> Specifies the type of IP connector you are configuring. Use
xcvr1
or
xcvr2
(for
Ethernet media).
