Example Bootptab File

The following is an example of the C:\bootpd\bootptab file provided with the PC Bootp software. At the end of this bootptab file, there are example IP configuration entries for a LanProbe.

#Example bootptab: database for bootp server.

#Format:

#nodename: tag=value: ... : tag=value

#

#first field - nodename (hostname) of terminal followed by colon

#(should be full domain name)

#

#Blank lines and lines beginning with ‘#’ are ignored.

#Make sure you include a colon and a backslash to continue a line.

#Don’t put any spaces in the tag=value string.

#The ht tag MUST precede the ha tag.

#The options listed below are useful for Agilent LanProbes.

#They are specified as tag=value and delimited by colons.

#For a list of all possible options, see the

#C:\BOOTPD\README.TXT file.

#ha - hardware address (link level address) (hex)

#vm - vendor magic cookie selector (should be rfc1048)
