Using BOOTP
BOOTP allows you to assign an IP address to the NIC upon bootup. In
addition, the BOOTP server can provide additional details such as a default
router/gateway address. To configure the NIC with its TCP/IP settings using
BOOTP, complete the following steps.
1. On your BOOTP server, make an entry in the /etc/bootptab file for the
NIC.
Syntax:
NICIPname:\
:sm=netmask:\
:hd=homedirectory:\
:bf=null:\
:gw=defaultgateway:\
:ht=ethernet:\
:ha=ethernetaddress:\
:ip=ipaddress:\
:ts=timeserver:\
:to=timezone:
Example:
spike:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:\
:hd=/usr/null:\
:bf=null:\
:gw=192.75.11.1:\
:ht=ethernet:\
:ha=008072070060:\
:ip=192.75.11.9:\
:ts=192.75.11.7:\
:to=25200:
Note Windows 95/98 pre-winsoc2 TCP/IP has a bug in which an arp entry will
not be created unless a valid arp entry exists in the arp table on the client
you are using. To ensure you have a valid arp entry, p
ing
your own
workstation in the DOS window and type the command
arp -a
to view the
arp table before using the
arp -s
command.
