Bootp Server Setup on an HP or Sun System
If your Bootp server is an HP-UX or Solaris system, use the following instructions
to configure LanProbe:
1. Determine the IP address to be used for LanProbe.
2. Determine the name to be used as LanProbe’s Domain Name Services (refer
to the HP ARPA Services manual) or configure an IP address and name for
LanProbe in your loca
l /etc/hosts file.
3. Make sure that the Bootp server can communicate with LanProbe (if they
are separated by a router, the router must support Bootp Relay).
4. From the Bootp server, edit the client configuration file and enter the
following parameters to be used for LanProbe (do not specify any other
parameters):
MAC Address
IP Address
Default Gateway IP Address (if available)
Subnet Mask
NOTE
The Bootp server must support the vendor specific subnet mask field and the
default gateway field.
5. Start the Bootp daemon as described in “Starting the Bootp Server on an HP
or Sun System” on page 57.
6. Connect the power cord and Agilent Power Module (0950-2546) to
LanProbe and to a power source (either 100-120/VAC or 220-240/VAC).
LanProbe does not have a power switch but becomes operational when
power is attached.
