UNIX TCP/IP 4-7
BootP
Emulex printer servers will accept and configure the following parameters
from a
TCP/IP BootP server host:
• Gateway IP address(es)
• Host IP address
• Server Domain Name
• Server IP address
• Server Loadfile Path and Name
• Server Node Name
• Server Subnet Mask
Any other BootP parameters supplied by a BootP server host will be ignored
by the server code without any error indication.
1) Determine if BootP is running on the host.
BSD:
>
#ps -ax | grep bootp
System V:
>
#ps -e | grep bootp
If BootP is defined for background operation, an active BootP daemon is
displayed.
2) If an active BootP daemon is not listed, enter:
>
#grep bootp /directory/inetd.conf
directory May be /etc/* or /usr/etc/*
If a BootP is present, it will be listed with its parameters.
3) Login to the printer server as supervisor.
