Compaq GS80, GS160, GS320 manual 5 ei*0protocols or ew*0protocols, Bootp,mop

6.2.5ei*0_protocols or ew*0_protocols

The ei*0_protocols or ew*0_protocols environment variable sets network protocols for booting and other functions.

To list the network devices on your system, enter the show device command. The Ethernet controllers start with the letters “ei” or “ew,” for example, eia0. The third letter is the adapter ID for the specific Ethernet controller. Replace the asterisk (*) with the adapter ID letter when entering the command.

The syntax is:

set ei*0_protocols protocol_value or set ew*0_protocols protocol_value

The options for protocol_value are:

mop (default)	Sets the network protocol to mop (Maintenance Operations
	Protocol), the setting typically used with the OpenVMS
	operating system.
bootp	Sets the network protocol to bootp, the setting typically used
	with the Tru64 UNIX operating system.
bootp,mop	When both are listed, the system attempts to use the mop
	protocol first, regardless of which is listed first. If not
	successful, it then attempts the bootp protocol.
