APPENDIX E: Quick-Start Guide

#Note that #s are typically comment characters. #host htyp hardware address IP address bootfile eps1 1 00:80:a3:04:19:4c 192.1.240 /tftpboot/PS1.SYS

Recall that in BOOTP and TFTP, the path and filename are case-sensitive.

If your host supports RARP instead of BOOTP, you can configure the host to reply to the EPS’s RARP requests and give the EPS its IP address. In general, the EPS needs to be in the host’s /etc/hosts and /etc/ethers files for the host to reply. Since RARP provides no filename information, TFTP will request the default filename with no path. If you need a specific path for the download file, you will have to use BOOTP or manual configuration. The EPS will use the RARP reply host as the loadhost.

4.Configure the EPS: Power on the unit. The EPS will always attempt a BOOTP configuration; if the BOOTP is not answered, it will send a broadcast RARP request as well. It will then attempt a TFTP download if it has an IP address and a loadhost. If the TFTP fails or the EPS does not attempt it, the EPS will attempt NetWare if you’ve specified a file server. If you did not set a file server, or if the download fails, the EPS will try MOP. If you use BOOTP, RARP, or MOP, the server should discover its load host automatically and download the file successfully.

If garbage characters appear on the console, check the terminal settings and serial line configuration.

If you are using NetWare to download, or if the EPS cannot discover its filename or IP address via TFTP, you will have to configure it manually. If the server is not displaying the “Boot>” prompt, press Return or Break when it is waiting between download attempts. You should get the “Boot>” prompt and be able to type on the console device. What you configure depends on the download method:

•TFTP: You will need to configure the server’s and loadhost’s IP addresses, and the path and filename of the download file:

Boot> SET SERVER IPADDRESS w.x.y.z

Boot> SET SERVER LOADHOST a.b.c.d

Boot> SET SERVER SOFTWARE /directory/ps1.sys Boot> FLASH
