Note:

Using BOOTP in UNIX

2.Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases, as required by your system.

3.If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon. This is typically performed using the rarpd -acommand.

4.Restart the AXIS 1610 to download the IP address.

❏If you are using IBM AIX, you will probably not have access to a RARP daemon. If this is the case, you can use either the ARP or BOOTP methods instead.

Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using BOOTP

1.Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically performed by editing the file: /etc/bootptab

<host name>:ht=<hardware type>:vm=<vendor magic>:\ :ha=<hardware address>:ip=<IP address>:\ :sm=<subnet mask>:gw=<gateway field>

Example :

npsname:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\

:ha=00408c100086:ip=192.168.3.191:\

:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.168.1.1

Notes: ❏ Enter the ht and vm fields exactly as shown in the example.

❏The ha field is the Ethernet address/node address and the ip field is the IP address of your AXIS 1610.

❏The gw and sm fields correspond to the default router address and subnet mask.

2.If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases, as required by your system.
