Bootp Server Setup on a PC

Bootp software for a PC is included (on a 3.5" floppy disk) with your Agilent LanProbe. Bootp software implements an internet Bootstrap Protocol (Bootp) server as defined in RFC 951 and RFC 1048. It is run from the DOS prompt either as a standalone executable or as a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program and communicates to a network interface card using the Microsoft NDIS (LAN Manager), or Novell ODI (NetWare), network stack. Bootp software does not support Microsoft Windows.

Refer to “Configuring the Bootptab File” on page 65 if you need to configure the bootptab configuration file.

Use the following procedure to setup the Bootp server software on a PC:

1.Insert the 3.5" floppy disk into your disk drive.

2.Change the prompt to indicate your floppy disk drive volume and enter setup. The following screen is displayed:

Bootp Setup

===========

Setup helps you install the Bootp server software for use with either Microsoft LAN Manager or Novell ODI version 3.1 software by:

-copying to your setup drive software for interfacing the Bootp program to your networking software.

-modifying your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and PROTOCOL.INI or NET.CFG files. (A copy of these files are saved in CONFIG.BTP, AUTOEXEC.BTP, PROTOCOL.BTP and NET.BTP, respectively.)

-copying the Bootp software to BOOTPD directory on your startup drive.

-providing a README file that contains more information.
