Axis NPS 530/532 User’s Manual 49
The bootp method The bootp method uses a daemon to establish and maintain
communication between the hosts listed in a boot table (/etc/bootptab on
most systems).Follow these steps to use the bootp method:
1. Open the boot table using a text editor (e.g. vi /etc/bootptab), and
add the following entry for your NPS 530/532:
<host name>:ht=<hardware type>:vm=<vendor magic>:\
:ha=<hardware address>:ip=<internet address>:\
:sm=<subnet mask>:gw=<gateway field>
2. Start the bootp daemon (if not already running) by the command
bootpd.
3. Restart the NPS 530/532 to down-load the IP address, default router
address, and net mask.
Notes: 1. The ht and vm fields must be entered exactly as in the example.
2. The ha and ip fields are the Node and IP Addresses respectively.
3. The sm and gw fields correspond to the default router address and net
mask (TCP/IP Menu parameters DEF_ROUT and NET_MASK, see
Appendix A).
Example:
salesdept:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\
:ha=00408C110086:ip=192.36.253.96:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.36.253.254
