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.

Bootp Server:	Bootptab File Location


HP 9000 System	/etc/bootptab

Sun SPARC system	/usr/netm/config/bootptab

PC	C:\bootpd\bootptab

Table 4-2: Bootp Server Bootptab Files

1.Enter your IP parameters into the bootptab file for each probe that you want to configure.

Use this format.

nodename:\

tag=value:\

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 parameter configured for a probe. Valid tags are listed in Table 4-3. You must provide a set of these tags for each probe that you want to configure (some tags are optional).
