3-6 Setup for IP Networks
To assign the IP address in UNIX by using RARP:
1. Append the following entry to your LAN (MAC) address
table, typically: /etc/ethers. The <LAN-address> can be
found on the LAN Address label on the server or (top of) the
tower; each pair of digits must be separated by a colon.
<LAN-address>
Example:
00:60:b0:11:00:86
2. Make sure the host table and alias name databases are
updated as required by your systems.
3. Start the rarp daemon (if not already running), typically by
using the command: rarpd -a
4. Restart the server (cycle its power).
To assign the IP address in UNIX by using BOOTP:
1. Append the following entry to your boot table, typically
/etc/bootptab).
<hostname> :ht= <hardwaretype> :vm= <vendormagic> :\
:ha= <LAN-address> :ip= <IP-address> :\
:sm= <subnetmask> :gw= <gatewayfield>
Example:
cdserv:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\
:ha=0060b0110086:ip=192.124.138.80:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.124.138.254
The ht and vm fields must be entered exactly as in the exam-
ple. For Ethernet, ht=ether.
In the ha field, for <LAN-address> use the address found on
the server or (top of) the tower. As in the example, use no
separators between its digits.
In the ip field, for <IP-address> use the IP address
assigned by the network administrator.
<host-name>
