5.14.13 ei*0_protocols or ew*0_protocols
The ei*0_protocols or ew*0_protocols environment variable sets net-
work protocols for booting and other functions.
To list the network devices on your system, enter the show device command. The
Ethernet controllers start with the letters “ei” or “ew,” for example, eia0. The third
letter is the adapter ID for the specific Ethernet controller. Replace the asterisk (*)
with the adapter ID letter when entering the command.
Syntax
set ei*0_protocols protocol_value or
set ew*0_protocols protocol_value
The options for protocol_value are:
mop (de-
fault)
Sets the network protocol to mop (Maintenance Operations Protocol),
the setting typically used with the OpenVMS operating system.
bootp
Sets the network protocol to bootp, the setting typically used with the
Tru64 UNIX operating system.
bootp,mop
When both are listed, the system attempts to use the mop protocol first,
regardless of which is listed first. If not successful, it then attempts the
bootp protocol.
