Starting the ARN

114200-E Rev 00

2-9

 

The 

 command shows the source location, either local or network, of 

the boot image file and the network configuration file. It also shows the 
interface configuration settings that you specified using the 

 

command.

If 

 displays the correct information, continue to the next step. 

Otherwise, reenter the correct

 command. If you need assistance, 

contact your network administrator.

 

Your console displays messages indicating the progress of the netboot 
procedure.

When the ARN boots, its LEDs flash in a particular order. To ensure that the 
installation was successful, see “Ensuring a Successful Installation” on 
page 3-9.

Contact your network administrator to verify that the ARN is now connected 
to the network. Your network administrator can refer to Configuring Passport 
Remote Access to troubleshoot any problems. 

If you need additional assistance, contact your local Nortel Networks 
Technical Solutions Center.

If the ARN cannot find a software image file or a configuration file 

using the netboot procedure, it attempts to local boot once. If both attempts 
fail, the ARN continues to netboot and local boot until it boots successfully. If 
the ARN remains in this loop, follow the steps in “Interrupting the Boot 
Process” on 

.

After connecting the ARN to the network, you can replace the local 

management console with a modem connection to enable remote dial-in 
access.
