Setting Up a UNIX Boot Server

Setting Up a TFTP Server

AN/ANH and ARN routers need a network connection to a TFTP server to complete EZ-Install, Netboot, or Directed Netboot. You configure a UNIX workstation as a TFTP server by:

•Setting up the TFTP daemon (TFTPD) to provide TFTP access

•Setting up static routes to AN/ANH and ARN routers (optional)

•Loading the changes into memory

Setting Up TFTPD

When you set up the TFTPD server on a UNIX workstation, you can allow TFTP access to the root directory and any subdirectory, or restrict TFTP access to a specified directory or path name.

Allowing TFTP access to all directories is the simpler procedure. Specifying a directory provides security, but requires either keeping the startup files in the specified directory or creating a link to each path name.

Providing TFTP Access to All Directories

To provide TFTP access to files in the root (/) directory and all subdirectories, insert the appropriate line for your operating system in the /etc/inetd.conf file. Find the sample line for your operating system in Table 2-3.

Table 2-3.	Providing TFTP Access to All Directories
Operating
System	Sample Line to Insert in /etc/inetd.conf File, or Other Instruction
SunOS	tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /
Solaris	tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /
HP-UX	tftp dgram udp wait root /etc/tftp tftp
AIX	Use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) to configure TFTP. For
	instructions, see the IBM guides on TCP/IP daemons and TFTP.
