Bootp - Bay Networks 5393 Hardware Installation Manual

Chapter 2 Installing the Remote Annex 5393/PRI
2-22 Remote Annex 5393/PRI Hardware Installation Guide
If BOOTP and RARP fail, the Remote Annex attempts to load an image
by transmitting an IPX Advertisement Request for Service.
If all requests fail, the Remote Annex will return to the ROM monitor
(if in Test mode) or continue the auto-initializing procedure
indefinitely (if in normal mode).

BOOTP

For a successful BOOTP retrieval, a bootpd must be running on a host
on the same network as the Remote Annex and must have the
appropriate information in the bootptab file. The Remote Annex's
BOOTP implementation adheres to rfc951, rfc1048, and rfc1084. A
sample bootptab file entry used to initialize the Remote Annex named
terminator looks like this:
remoteannexdefault:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=132.245.22.66:\
:hn:vm=auto:to=-18000:
terminator:\
:ht=1:ha=00802d004879:ip=132.245.22.226:\
:tc=remoteannexdefault:
In the previous example:
sm is the subnet mask.
gw is the load/dump gateway address.
vm is the Vendor Magic Cookie.
ht is host type (1=Ethernet).
ha is the Remote Annex 's hardware address (Ethernet
Address).
ip is the Remote Annex's Internet Address.
