Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers
B-4 308614-14.20 Rev 00
Router Not Sending BootP Responses
If a router between the AN/ANH or ARN router and the BootP server is receiving
BootP requests but is failing to send BootP responses, do the following:
1. Use Site Manager to ensure that the BootP relay agent forwarding table
associated with the router shows an IP address th at is configured on the
IP router.
2. Ensure that the input IP address is correct. If the Hops count is lower
than the router’s position in the path, increase the Hops count.
For instructions, see “Creating the BootP Cli ent Interface Table” on
page 3-14.
3. Use the Configuration Manager to ensure that BootP and IP are enabled
on the incoming and outgoing interfaces.
4. Ensure that the link modules and drivers are enabled.
For instructions, see Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager.
BootP Server Not Sending BootP Responses
If the BootP server is receiving BootP requests but is failing to respond to them,
do the following:
1. Follow the instructions in “Displaying the BootP Server IP Routes” on
page B-15.
2. Follow the instructions in “Debugging the BootP S erver” on page B-12.
3. Ensure that the /etc/inetd.conf file contains no more than one bootps
entry.
If there is more than one entry, comment out the invalid entry. The valid entry
is as follows:
bootps dgram udp wait root /etc/bootpd bootpd
4. Ensure that the tftp dgram entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file is correct for
your system.
For instructions, see “Setting Up a TFTP Server” on page 2-9.
5. See “Verifying the BootP Server Setup” on page B-14.
