Bootptab File Entries

An example of a /etc/bootptab file entry for an HP Jetdirect print server is provided below:

picasso:\

:hn=picasso:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\

:ha=0060b0123456:\

:ip=192.168.10.248:\

:sm=255.255.255.0:\

:gw=192.168.10.1:\

:lg=192.168.10.2:\

:T144=“hpnp/picasso.cfg”:

Note that the configuration data contains “tags” to identify the various HP Jetdirect parameters and their settings. The tags are identified in Table 3.1.

Table 3.1	Tags in the “bootptab” file (1 of 2)
nodename		The name of the peripheral. This name identifies an entry
		point to a list of parameters for a specific peripheral.
		nodename must be the first field in an entry. (In the
		example above, nodename is “picasso”.)
hn		The host name tag. This tag causes the BOOTP daemon
		to download the host name to the HP Jetdirect print
		server. The host name will be printed on the Jetdirect
		configuration page, or returned on an SNMP sysName
		request by a network application.
ht		The hardware type tag. For the HP Jetdirect print server,
		set this to ether (for Ethernet) or token (for Token Ring).
		This tag must precede the ha tag.
vm		The BOOTP report format tag (required). Set this
		parameter to rfc1048.
