Using BOOTP in UNIX
Follow these steps to use the BOOTP method:
1. Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically done using the file
/etc/bootptab
<host name>:ht=<hardware type>:vm=<vendor magic>:\
:ha=<hardware address>:ip=<IP address>:\
:sm=<subnet mask>:gw=<gateway field>
where:
ht = ether
vm = rfc1048
ha = The Ethernet address of the AXIS 2100
ip = The IP address of the AXIS 2100
sm = The subnet mask
gw = The default router address
Example:
mycam:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\
:ha=00408c100086:ip=172.21.1.200:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=172.21.1.1
2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases according to the requirements of
your system.
3. If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is typically done using the command
.
bootpd
4. Restart the AXIS 2100 to download the IP address, default router address, and subnet mask.
Mapping a Host Name to the IP Address
If you are using host names, you can also map a unique host name to the acquired IP address. Refer
to your system manuals or Network Administrator for instructions on how to perform the name
mapping on your particular system.
