In UNIX, Set the
IP Address Using
BOOTP
Follow these steps to download the Internet (IP) address using
the RARP method:
1. Append the following line to your LAN hardware (MAC)
address table (typically
<LAN Hardware Address>
Example:
00:60:b0:11:00:86
2. Make sure the host table and alias name databases are
updated as required by your systems.
3. Start the rarp daemon (if not already running), typically by the
command:
rarpd -a
4. Restart (power cycle) the HP CD-ROM Server to download the
IP address.
Follow these steps to download the IP address using BOOTP:
1. Append the following entry to your boot table (typically
/etc/bootptab
<host name>:ht=<hardware type>:vm=<vendor magic>:\
:ha=<hardware address>:ip=<IP address>:\
:sm=<subnet mask>:gw=<gateway field>
Example:
cdserv:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\
:ha=0060b0110086:ip=192.124.138.80:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.124.138.254
2. Make sure the host table and alias name data bases are
updated as described on page 3-4.
3. Start the bootp daemon (if not already running), typically by
the command:
4. Restart (power cycle) the HP CD-ROM Server to download the
IP address, default gateway (gw) address and subnet mask.
