Bootp Database Record Entries
An entry in the Bootp table file /etc/bootptab to update an IP address
and subnet mask to the Switch 800T or a VLAN configured in the switch would
be similar to this entry:
j3245switch:\
ht=ether:\
ha=080009123456:\
sm=255.255.248.0:\
lg=11.22.33.44:\
hn:\
ip=55.66.77.88:\
vm=rfc1048
An entry in the Bootp table file /etc/bootptab to tell the switch or VLAN
where to obtain a configuration file download would be similar to this entry:
j3245switch:\
ht=ether:\
ha=080009123456:\
sm=255.255.248.0:\
lg=11.22.33.44:\
hn:\
ip=55.66.77.88:\
T144=”switch.cfg”:\
vm=rfc1048
where:
j3245switch is a user-defined symbolic name to help you find the correct section of the
bootptab file. If you have multiple switches that will be using Bootp to get their
IP configuration, you should use a unique symbolic name for each switch.
ht is the “hardware type” . For the HP AdvanceStack Switch 800T, set this to ether
(for Ethernet).
This tag must precede the
ha
tag
.
ha is the “hardware address” . Use the switch's (or VLAN's) 12-digit MAC address.
sm is the subnet mask of the subnet in which the switch (or VLAN) is installed.
lg TFTP server address (source of final configuration file)
hn send nodename (boolean flag, no “=value” needed)
ip is the IP address to be assigned to the switch (or VLAN).
T144 is the vendor-specific “tag” identifying the configuration file to download.
vm is a required entry that specifies the Bootp report format. For the HP
AdvanceStack Switch 800T, set this parameter to rfc1048.
