3.3.3 Setting Up UNIX Station as BootP Server Going Across a Router to the Device
To set up a UNIX station as a BootP server going across a router to a device, proceed as follows:
1. Refer to the instructions in the supporting document for your UNIX station to correctly set up your BootP
environment.
2. Perform steps 1 through 3 of Section 3.3.2.
3. Edit the /etc/bootptab file and add an entry for the device that includes the same name as found in the
/etc/hosts file, using the following:
Syntax:
<host name>:ht=<hardware type>:ha<hardware address>:ip=<ip address of device>:hd=<bootp file
directory>:bf<hex file name>:sa=<server address>:gw=<gateway, ip address of router interface on
SERVER side>
Example:
emme_20:ht=ether:ha=00001d139786:ip=150.12.30.20:hd=/tftpboot:bf=30103.hex:
sa=150.12.31.35:gw=150.12.31.1
TIP: On multi-channel devices, such as the EMME, use the hardware address of the interface
that the network is coming in on. For example, if the network connection is connected into
channel D, use the MAC address assigned to channel D.
4. Now you are ready to start the BootP process. Use your management application to enter the appropriate
information and start the BootP process. Or set the dip switch on the device to force a BootP download.
