Nortel Networks 14.2 Setting Up Static Routes to Next-Hop Routers, Tftpuseridgroupno.//bin/false

Setting Up a UNIX Boot Server

Adding a TFTP User for an HP 9000 Workstation

Follow the instructions in this section only if you are running Site Manager on an HP 9000 workstation.

To add a TFTP user for the HP 9000, insert the following line in your /etc/passwd file. Nortel Networks recommends that you use root (/) as the TFTP home directory.

tftp::<user_id>:<group_no.>::/:/bin/false

For example:

tftp::510:20::/:/bin/false

Note: Nortel Networks recommends that you not use the System

Administration Manager (SAM) utility to add a TFTP user.

Setting Up Static Routes to Next-Hop Routers

If your workstation requires static routes, read this section to learn how to specify a path to the network by:

•Editing the /etc/inetd.conf file

•Verifying the routes

•Loading the changes into memory

You must set up a static route for each path between the AN/ANH or ARN router and the BootP server’s next-hop router.

Note: You may want to specify a static route in a multihop environment or in an environment using routing protocols such as RIP, where minor routing update delays may extend the time it takes to Netboot.

Editing the /etc/inetd.conf File

Insert the following line in the /etc/inetd.conf file to set up a static route:

route add <destination> <gateway> <hops>

destination is the IP address of the router or its network.
