1.Use a text editor to open the /etc/hosts file.

2.Add a host name and hardware address on a single line (A device named “alpha” with an address “192.115.2.1,” enter:

192.115.2.1 alpha (Save the file)

3. Create a bootptab in the /etc directory. To do this, type:

<hostname of FastPort>:ht=1:ha=<hardware addr.>:ip=<ip addr.>

4.Start the BOOTP daemon by typing.

/usr/etc/bootp

5.Power cycle FastPort. It will broadcast the BOOTP packets, obtain a response, and then uses the IP address specified in /etc/bootptab.

2.6.2Setting the IP address using BOOTP on HP/UX
