Using BOOTP Configuration Method (HP-UX)

To configure a LAN/GPIB Gateway on your network using BOOTP from an HP-UX client system:

1Make sure that the Gateway is powered-off. The AC power cord from the power module must be disconnected from the power outlet (wall outlet).

2Determine which computer system is the BOOTP server on your network. Then, log into the BOOTP server system as root.

Edit the /etc/bootptab configuration file. Add an entry to the file for each LAN/GPIB Gateway on your network. (You only need to specify the non-default values that you want.) The following information will help you complete the entry correctly.

The following table lists the values you can configure. In the table, BOOTP Tag is the tag that the BOOTP daemon (bootpd) searches for in the /etc/bootptab file to service BOOTP requests. See the next example BOOTP entry and tips to help you complete your BOOTP entry correctly.

For more information on the BOOTP tags, use the system man command on bootpd. Also, see “Configuration Values” for more information about each of the configuration values.
