Edit the BOOTP Configuration File

The boot-server configuration file, BOOTPTAB, is located in the

C:\ABIC\BIN directory. BOOTPTAB is an ASCII file that 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 SLC 5/05 processors:

sigma1: tc=defaults5E:ip=12.34.56.1:ha=0000BC1D1234

sigma2: tc=defaults5E:ip=12.34.56.2:ha=0000BC1D5678

sigma3: tc=defaults5E:ip=12.34.56.3:ha=0000BC1D9012

This file contains the information needed to boot the ENI.

You must edit the BOOTPTAB file to include the name, IP address, and hardware address for each ENI you want the server to boot. To edit this file:

1.Open the BOOTPTAB file using a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad.

The file contains text that look like this:

#Default string for each type of Ethernet client

defaults5E: ht=1:vm=rfc1048

These are the default parameters for the ENI and must always precede the client lines in the BOOTPTAB file.

The file also contains a line that looks like this:

#Entries for SLC 5/05 processors: sigma1:tc=defaults5E:ip=12.34.56.1:ha=0000BC1D 1234

The “#” character defines the line as information, not configuration data.

 

Use the sigma1 line as the configuration

IMPORTANT

template for the ENI.
