Section IV - TCP/IP

IP addresses are 32-bits and are expressed in 4 bytes (decimal format) usually separated by periods. Each decimal byte has a range from 0 to 255.

Example: 192.168.42.1

Configuration File

The purpose of BOOTP is to look up a 32-bit IP address given a 48-bit network hardware address. The BOOTP server (which is usually a UNIX workstation running a bootpd daemon) performs this function using one configuration file and one or more daemons. The configuration file is “/etc/bootptab” and the daemon is called bootpd.

A name can be arbitrarily assigned to any device on a network. The following examples use the name OKIPRINTER. Remember that this name is arbitrary; a customer can assign any name they wish.

/etc/bootptab:	The “/etc/bootptab” file
	has entries where each
	entry maps a network
	hardware address to an IP
	address.
Example:	OKIPRINTER:\
	ht=ether:\
	ha=0040681750A4:\
	ip=192.168.42.55
