Configuring an Ethernet Interface for Network Booting
To configure any ARN Ethernet interface for network booting, use the following
command format:
ifconfig [ -d ] <interface> [<IP_address> <subnet_mask> [<next_hop_address>]]
Table A-2 describes the ifconfig command settings for configuring the router’s
Ethernet interface.
<subnet_mask> Specifies the IP subnet mask of the interface you set with <interface>.
Provide this address in dotted decimal notation.
<next_hop_
address> Specifies the IP address of the next-hop router. Provide this address
in dotted decimal notation. Specify this address only if there are
intermediate routers between the router and the BootP server.

xcvr<
port #>.
IP Address Settings
<IP_address> 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 set with <interface>.
