C.Replace xxyy with the last four digits of the hardware address. Use only valid hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F); do not use the hyphens that separate the numbers. (You will find the hardware address on a label affixed to the printed circuit board of the Ethernet PLC-5 controller.)

3.Save, close, and make a backup copy of this file.

EXAMPLE

In this example there are three Ethernet PLC-5 controllers and an HP 9000 personal computer. The names and hardware addresses are device specific:

DeviceNameIP AddressHardware Address

Based on this configuration, the BOOTPTAB file looks like:

#Legend: gw -- gateways

#ha -- hardware address

#ht -- hardware type(1)

#ip -- host IP address

#sm -- subnet mask

#vm -- BOOTP vendor extensions format(2)

#tc -- template host

#Default string for each type of Ethernet client defaults5E: ht=1:vm=rfc1048

#Entries for Ethernet PLC-5 controllers:

device1: tc=defaults5E:ip=12.34.56.1:ha=0000BC1C1234

device2: tc=defaults5E:ip=12.34.56.2:ha=0000BC1C5678

device4: tc=defaults5E:ip=12.34.56.3:ha=0000BC1C9012

(1)1 = 10MB Ethernet

(2)use rfc1048

Run your BOOTP utility to send the configuration information to the Ethernet interface module.
