Connecting to the Host Computer
To configure LAN parameters using BOOTP
In the example above, the "ha=080009090B0E" identifies the link-level
address of the HP processor probe.
The "ip=192.6.29.31" specifies the IP address that is assigned to the
HP processor probe.
The node name is "hpprobe.div.hp.com".
For additional information about using bootpd, refer to the HP-UX man pages.
Connect the the HP processor probe to your network.

This connection can be made by using either LAN connector on the
HP processor probe.
Set the configuration switches to indicate the type of connection that
4
is to be made.
Switch S1 must be set to OPEN, indicating that a LAN connection is being
made.
Switch S6 must be set to OPEN to enable BOOTP mode.
Switch S5 should be set to CLOSED if you are connecting to the BNC
connector
Switch S5 should be set to OPEN if you are connecting to the 10BASE-T
connector.
Set all other switches to CLOSED.
Connect the power cord to the HP processor probe.
5
Verify that the power light stays on after 10 seconds.
The IP address will be stored in EEPROM.
Set switch S6 back to CLOSED.
6
Do this so that the HP processor probe does not request its IP address each
time power is cycled. The IP address is stored in EEPROM, so BOOTP does
not need to be run again. Leaving this switch on will result in slower
