Configuring the Switch
Configuring the Switch
IP Configuration
An entry in the Bootp table file /etc/bootptab to tell the switch where to obtain a configuration file download would be similar to this entry:
j3299switch:\
ht=ether:\
ha=080009123456:\ip=11.22.33.44:\
sm=255.255.248.0:\
gw=11.22.33.1:\lg=55.66.77.88:\ts=11.22.33.55:\T144=”switch.cfg”:\vm=rfc1048
where:
j3299switch | is a |
| bootptab file. If you have multiple switches that will be using Bootp to get their |
| IP configuration, you should use a unique symbolic name for each switch. |
ht | is the “hardware type”. For the Switch 212M and Switch 224M, set this to ether |
| (for Ethernet). This tag must precede the ha tag. |
ha | is the “hardware address”. Use the switch's |
ip | is the IP address to be assigned to the switch. |
sm | is the subnet mask of the subnet in which the switch is installed. |
gw | is the IP address of the default gateway for the switch. |
lg | is the TFTP server address (source of switch configuration file). |
ts | is the IP address of the time server. |
T144 | is the |
vm | is a required entry that specifies the Bootp report format. For the Switch 212M |
| and Switch 224M, set this parameter to rfc1048. |
N o t e | The above Bootp table entry is a sample that will work for the Switch 212M |
| and 224M when the appropriate addresses and file names are used. There are |
| other features and parameters that can be implemented with Bootp. See the |
| documentation for your Bootp server for more information. |
