Appendix F
Sample BootP Configuration File
This appendix provides a sample BootP configuration file. The BootP server
searches for this file, called bootptab (or BOOTPTAB.TXT, depending on your
operating system), which contains the site-specific information (including IP
addresses) needed to perform the software download and configuration. You can
modify this sample BootP configuration file or create one of your own.
A sample BootP configuration file follows:
# The following is a sample of a BootP configuration file that was extracted
# from a Bay Networks EZ LAN network management application. Note that other
# BootP daemons can use a configuration file with a different format.
#
# Before using your switch BootP facility, you must customize your BootP
# configuration file with the appropriate data.
#
# Blank lines and lines beginning with '#' are ignored.
#
# Legend:
#
# first field -- hostname
# ht -- hardware type
# ha -- host hardware address
# tc -- template host (points to similar host entry)
# ip -- host IP address
# hd -- bootfile home directory
# bf -- bootfile
# EZ dt -- device type
# EZ fv -- firmware version
# EZ av -- agent version
#
# Fields are separated with a pipe (|) symbol. Forward slashes (/) are
# required to indicate that an entry is continued to the next line.
