SMC Networks 6.20 manual Adding and Modifying Node Information, To add a new node

SETTING ADDRESSES WITH THE BOOTP SERVER

Select an entry in the node list to display the Note and filename mapping for the selected node.

Each node in the BOOTP Server can have its own filename mapping list. This provides maximum flexibility for the network administrator. Default mapping is also provided, where in most cases per-node special mapping is not required. Click on the DEFAULT name to set both the IP and MAC addresses to zero; this represents the default file mapping list.

To exit the BOOTP server, click on the Exit button.

Adding and Modifying Node Information

The BOOTP Server starts with a single entry called DEFAULT. No file mapping is initially defined for this entry. To provide BOOTP service based on generic information, add the entries you require to the file map for the DEFAULT node. To service specific nodes, enter data for each node.

To add a new node:

1.Click the Add Node button in the BOOTP Server dialog box. This will bring up the Add Record dialog box.

2.Enter the following information in the record fields.
