Nortel Networks 14.2 BootPD Tags for a Router Host Name, Required or Tag Optional Value Example

Setting Up a UNIX Boot Server

•hostname is a name you assign to a BootP client (each AN/ANH or ARN router is a client). Each hostname definition must:

--Contain a maximum of 79 characters

--Contain alphanumeric characters, and an alphabetic first character

--Not contain an underscore (_)

•You can use a dot (.) to separate characters, but the character immediately following the dot must be alphabetic.

•tg is a BootP parameter name (tag).

•Follow each tag with an equals sign (=) and a value.

•A pound sign (#) at the beginning of a line indicates a comment.

•A backslash (\) at the end of a line indicates continuation of the line.

Note: Make sure you type a backslash (\), not a slash (/), at the end of each line that does not conclude a definition.

Table 2-1 lists the BootPD tags for router host names. Table 2-2 lists the BootPD tags for kernel file names.
