2 - 6 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

NC9100h_FM6.0

Depending on the system, this entry might be called “bootps” instead 
of “bootp”.

BRN_310107 1  00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3

and:

BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\

ip=192.189.207.3:

Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to 
BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the 
configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host 
and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.

As with rarp, the Print/Fax server will load its IP address from the 
BOOTP server when the machine is powered on.

In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the 
“#” (if there is no “#”, then BOOTP is already enabled). Then 
edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and 
enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet 
address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the 
Print/Fax server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing 
this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your 
system documentation to determine how to enter this 
information (many UNIX systems also have template 
examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). 
Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include:
