DNS Server Configuration
The DNS server maps the TFTP server name maritsu to IP address 10.0.0.3.
TFTP Server Configuration (on UNIX)
The TFTP server base directory is set to /tftpserver/work/. This directory contains the network-confg file
used in the two-file read method. This file contains the host name to be assigned to the switch based on
its IP address. The base directory also contains a configuration file for each switch (switch1-confg,
switch2-confg, and so forth) as shown in this display:
prompt> cd /tftpserver/work/
prompt> ls
