Setting Up a UNIX Boot Server

3. Insert the following line anywhere in the ﬁle to conﬁgure your

workstation as a BOOTP server:

bootps dgram udp wait root /etc/bootpd bootpd

4. Save and exit the ﬁle.

Setting Up BOOTPD to Respond to Routers

When the operating system receives a BOOTP packet, it starts up BOOTPD. The

BOOTPD software matches the source IP address of the packet to an IP address in

its BOOTP table (bootptab) ﬁle to determine the pathnames to conﬁguration and

boot image ﬁles.

Entries in bootptab also include optional parameter tags. Bay Networks supplies a

sample bootptab file that Site Manager installs automatically in the

/usr/wf/conﬁg directory. Use a copy of this sample ﬁle if you do not already have a

bootptab file.

Set up BOOTPD to respond to booting routers, as follows:

1. As

root

, view the contents of the /etc directory to determine whether it

already contains a bootptab ﬁle.

If it does contain a bootptab file, disregard Steps 2 and 3 and continue with

Step 4 to edit this ﬁle.

2. Issue the following command to copy the bootptab ﬁle to the /etc

directory:

cp /usr/wf/conﬁg/bootptab /etc

Use an editor to open the bootptab ﬁle in the /etc directory.

4. Type the information that pertains to the ASNs in your network into the

bootptab ﬁle.

The section that follows explains how to format your entries. Use Tables 2-1

and 2-2 to determine which tags and values you need. Figure 2-1 shows the

sample bootptab file included with the Site Manager software. The comments

in this file explain the sample definitions.

Note: The bootptab ﬁle can include the same boot image pathname for all

booting routers, or a different boot image for each IP addresses.
