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
Setting Up Static Routes to Next-Hop Routers
If your workstation requires static r outes, read this section to learn how to sp ecify
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.
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.
Note: Nortel Networks recommends that you not use the System
Administration Manager (SAM) utility to add a TFTP user.
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.
