Boot Configuration Options
This section summarizes your options for getting the AN, ANH, or ARN software
image and configuration files.
An AN/ANH/ARN boots using one of four configured startup options. The
differences among the four startup options are based on whether the router
retrieves software image and configuration files over the network or from local
memory.
Getting a software image or configuration file over the network is called
Netbooting. Getting a file from the file system stored in local Flash memory is
called Local booting.
To initially start up the AN, ANH, or ARN, you use one of these boot
configuration options:
• EZ-Install (the default)
• Netboot
• Local Boot
To start up the AN, ANH, or ARN after the initial configuration, you use one of
these options:
• Netboot
• Directed Netboot
• Local Boot
Note: If you plan to use the Quick2Config™ software to configure the AN or
ANH, see Configuring Your Router Using the Quick2Config Tool.
Quick2Config is a Microsoft Windows-based application that you can use to
create or modify router configuration files.
