4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add
the IP address and NIC’s node name. See the network adminis-
trator for the IP address. For example, you would type in the
following for NIC named printfast with an IP address of
192.9.200.200:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5. Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running.
6. Edit the /etc/BOOTPtab file and add the following information:
<NIC_host name>:\
:ht = <hardware type>:\
:ha = <MAC Address>:\
:ip = <IP address>:\
:sm = <subnet mask>:\
:gw = <gateway address>:
For example, for an RFC 1048 system:
printfast:\
:ht = ether:\
:ha = 00206BAABBCC:\
:ip = 192.9.200.200:\
:sm = 255.255.255.0:\
:gw = 192.9.200.254:
If running with a more recent BOOTP implementation, such as with
SCO UNIX, add:
:vm = rfc1048:
The same information uses the following format on an RFC 951 sys-
tem:
7. Start the BOOTP daemon by typing:
#bootpd -s
host htype haddr iaddr bootfile
printfast 1 00:20:6b:aa:bb:cc 192.9.200.200 defaultboot
