Using BOOTP in UNIX
Follow these steps to use the BOOTP method:
1. Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically done using the file
/etc/bootptab
<host name>:ht=<hardware type>:vm=<vendor magic>:\
:ha=<hardware address>:ip=<IP address>:\
:sm=<subnet mask>:gw=<gateway field>
where:
ht = ether
vm = rfc1048
ha = The Ethernet address of the AXIS 2120
ip = The IP address of the AXIS 2120
sm = The subnet mask
gw = The default router address
Example:
mycam:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\
:ha=00408c100086:ip=172.21.1.200:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=172.21.1.1
2. If necessary, update the host table and alias name databases for your system.
3. If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is typically done using the command
.
bootpd
4. Restart the AXIS 2120 to download the IP address, default router address and subnet mask.
Mapping a Host Name to the IP Address
If you are using host names, you can also map a unique host name to the IP address. Refer to your
system manuals or Network Administrator for instructions on how to perform the name mapping
on your particular system.
