Configuring the Bootptab File

Configure the bootptab file by using the following procedure and any ASCII text

editor to edit one of the files from Table 4-2.

1. Enter your IP parameters into the bootptab file for each probe t hat you want

to configure.

Use this format.

nodename:\

tag=value:\

...

tag=value

The nodename is the host name of the probe. The nodename can be up to 40

characters long using alpha-numerics, dashes, and dots. Do not use spaces or

underscores in the nodename.

Each tag and its associated value is an IP parame ter configured for a probe.

Valid tags are li sted in Table 4-3. Y ou must provide a set of these tags for each

probe that you want to configure (some tags are optional).
