•
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.
Tabl e 2-1 lists the BootPD tags for router host names. Tabl e 2-2 lists the BootPD
tags for kernel file names.
Note: Make sure you type a backslash (\), not a slash (/), at the end of each
line that does not conclude a definition.
