To Configure Lan Parameters Using Bootp - HP E3473A User Manual

To configure LAN parameters using BOOTP

This method is applicable only if your HP-UX workstation is already running
bootpd, the BOOTP daemon. The ipconfig700 command does the same thing
as BOOTP and is easier to use.
The BOOTP software is shipped with HP-UX version 8.0 or later.
Make sure that your host computer supports BOOTP.

If the following commands yield the results shown below, your machine
supports the BOOTP protocol.
$ grep bootp /etc/services
bootps 67/udp
bootpc 68/udp
$ grep bootp /etc/inetd.conf
bootps dgram udp
If the commands did not yield the results shown, you must either add BOOTP
support to your workstation or use a different method to configure the
HP E3472A/73A Emulator LAN parameters.
Add an entry to the host BOOTP database file, /etc/bootptab. For
