Using BOOTP in UNIX
Follow these steps to use the BOOTP method:
1.Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically done using the file
/etc/bootptab:
<host name>:ht=<hardware type>:vm=<vendor magic>:\ :ha=<hardware address>:ip=<IP address>:\ :sm=<subnet mask>:gw=<gateway field>
where:
ht | = ether |
vm | = rfc1048 |
ha | = The Ethernet address of the AXIS 2100 |
ip | = The IP address of the AXIS 2100 |
sm | = The subnet mask |
gw | = The default router address |
Example:
mycam:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\
:ha=00408c100086:ip=172.21.1.200:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=172.21.1.1
2.If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases according to the requirements of your system.
3.If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is typically done using the command
bootpd.
4.Restart the AXIS 2100 to download the IP address, default router address, and subnet mask.
Mapping a Host Name to the IP Address
If you are using host names, you can also map a unique host name to the acquired IP address. Refer to your system manuals or Network Administrator for instructions on how to perform the name mapping on your particular system.
