used for many or any clients. The hm option is a MAC address mask used to determine if the MAC address of the requestor matches the MAC address of the ha bootptab option.
ha=000000000000:\
hm=000000000000:\
bp=10.2.1.11
Note that care is needed if the system is connected to multiple subnets, since the bootp relay helper will respond to boot requests detected on any NIC. Make sure the correct server is set and any network routing is configured as described in “Having the client contact the correct server” (page 55) and “Install remote clients through a network router” (page 54)
See bootpd(1M) for details of configuration.
Note that this approach works for
The following is an example of a local bootp relay boot helper /etc/bootptab content to respond to any client MAC address:
The following is an example of selective,
hpfcixa:
ht=ether:\
ha=001083352de5:\
bp=15.2.1.11
A block of MAC addresses may be specified using the ha and hm options. This approach might be very useful with HP systems supporting HP Virtual Connect technology.
The master Ignite server needs to have entries for the client system boot requests forwarded from the bootp forward boot helper:
hn:\
bs=48:\
dn=xyzco.com:\
gw=10.4.1.1:\
sm=255.255.255.0:\
ds=10.2.1.11
hpfcixa:\
To use the bootp relay boot helper with
boot lan.10.2.1.11
The installation option to use
boot lan.10.2.1.11 install
