B-12 308614-14.20 Rev 00
The possible settings for synchronous connectors are as follows:
•EZ-Install (the default setting)
•The IP address, next-hop IP address, subnet mask, and WAN protocol (Nortel
Networks Standard PPP or Frame Relay)
The possible settings for Ethernet connectors are as follows:
•None (the default setting)
•The IP address with subnet mask and next-hop IP address (if you configured
one)
The possible settings for token ring connectors are as follows:
•None (the default setting)
•The IP address with subnet mask, ring-speed option, and next-hop address (if
you configured one)
See Chapter4 for instructions on using the ifconfig and bconfig commands to
change the parameter settings.
Debugging the BootP Server
Debug the BootP server as follows:
1. Enter the following command at the UNIX command line:
bootpd -d -d&
The bootpd debugger tool reads the /etc/bootptab file and generates the
/etc/bootpd.dmp file. The /etc/bootpd.dmp file contains the portion of the
/etc/bootptab file that the bootpd debugger could read successfully. The
debugger displays messages such as the following:
[1] 12914
hostname:/etc> reading "/etc/bootptab"
read 19 entries from "/etc/bootptab"
dumped 19 entries to "/etc/bootpd.dump".
2. Compare the bootptab file with the bootpd.dmp file.
If the bootpd.dmp file is truncated or is otherwise different from the bootptab
file, BootPD may have encountered a syntax error. Find the inconsistency in
the two files.
