Bootptab File Entries
An example of a /etc/bootptab file entry for an HP Jetdirect print server is provided below:
picasso:\
:hn=picasso:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\
:ha=0060b0123456:\
:ip=192.168.10.248:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:\
:gw=192.168.10.1:\
:lg=192.168.10.2:\
:T144=“hpnp/picasso.cfg”:
Note that the configuration data contains “tags” to identify the various HP Jetdirect parameters and their settings. The tags are identified in Table 3.1.
Table 3.1 | Tags in the “bootptab” file (1 of 2) | |
nodename |
| The name of the peripheral. This name identifies an entry |
|
| point to a list of parameters for a specific peripheral. |
|
| nodename must be the first field in an entry. (In the |
|
| example above, nodename is “picasso”.) |
|
|
|
hn |
| The host name tag. This tag causes the BOOTP daemon |
|
| to download the host name to the HP Jetdirect print |
|
| server. The host name will be printed on the Jetdirect |
|
| configuration page, or returned on an SNMP sysName |
|
| request by a network application. |
|
|
|
ht |
| The hardware type tag. For the HP Jetdirect print server, |
|
| set this to ether (for Ethernet) or token (for Token Ring). |
|
| This tag must precede the ha tag. |
|
|
|
vm |
| The BOOTP report format tag (required). Set this |
|
| parameter to rfc1048. |
