Issue the following command to copy the bootptab file to the /etc
directory:
cp /usr/wf/config/bootptab /etc
3.
Use an editor to open the bootptab file in the /etc directory.
4. Type the information that pertains to the ANs and ANHs in your network
into the bootptab file.
The section that follows explains how to format your entries. Use Tables 3-
1
and 3-
2 to determine which tags and values you need. Figure 3-1 shows the
sample bootptab file included with the Site Manager software. The comments
in this file explain the sample definitions.
5. After editing the bootptab file, be sure to save the changes.
Editing the bootptab File
Enter a
<hostname>
definition in the bootptab file for each AN/ANH in your
network. The format of each definition in the bootptab file is as follows:
<
hostname
>:\
:<tg>=<value>:\
:<tg>=<value>:\
:<tg>=<value>:
• <hostname> is a name you assign to a BOOTP client (each router is a client).
• <tg> is a BOOTP parameter name (tag).
• Follow each tag with an equal sign (=) and a value.
• A pound sign (#) at the beginning of a line indicates a comment.
• A backslash (\) at the end of a line indicates continuation of the line.
Note: Be sure the bootptab file resides in the /etc directory. BOOTPD fails if it
cannot find the bootptab file in /etc.
Note: Make sure you enter a backslash (\), not a slash (/), at the end of every
line that does not conclude a definition.
