UNIX:
Using BOOTP
Notes
To assign the IP address in UNIX by using BOOTP:
1. Obtain administrator privileges.
2. 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
hostname is the DNS host name.
The ht and vm fields must be entered exactly as in the example.
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.
The sm field (subnet mask) determines when the traffic should
be sent through a router. For example, the normal class C mask
is 255.255.255.0. The mask 0.0.0.0 indicates that automatic
router sensing is used.
The gw field (default gateway or router address) identifies the
router which is sent all traffic directed outside the local network
(according to the subnet mask).
3. Make sure the host table and alias name data bases are updated
as described in "If Using DNS or WINS Host Names:" on page 3-2.
4. Start the bootp daemon (if not already running), typically by using
the command: bootpd -a
5. Restart the server (cycle its power) to download the IP address,
default gateway address, and subnet mask.
