AXIS 5400 User’s Manual Section 3: Basic Installation 33
Using BOOTP
in UNIX Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using BOOTP:
1. Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically
performed by editing the file: /etc/bootptab
Example:
Notes: ❏Enter the ht and vm fields exactly as shown in the example.
❏The ha field is the Ethernet address/node address and the ip field
is the IP address of your AXIS 5400.
❏The gw and sm fields correspond to the default router address and
subnet mask.
❏If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply
replace the host name entry with the IP address in the example
above.
2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name datab ases, as
required by your system.
3. If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is
typically performed using the bootpd command.
4. Restart the AXIS 5400 to download the IP address, default router
address, and subnet mask.
The AXIS 5400 can automatically download a customized config file
from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the
TFTP server’s IP address to your boot table. The config file is
downloaded immediately after the AXIS 5400 receives its IP address.
