If your client system is already running HP-UX, you can get the MAC address of the client by using the lanscan command. You may use any MAC address that is physically connected to the network. Note that the lanscan command reports the MAC address with a leading “0x”, which must be removed before entering it in the /etc/ bootptab file. The leading “0x” is required in the /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab file.

MAC addresses sometimes appear on computer system labels, packaging, and documentation shipped with systems.

The /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab file includes extensive descriptive comments.
