Setting Up a UNIX Boot Server

3-3

Setting Up BOOTPD to Run

Conﬁgure your workstation to run the BOOTPD program when it receives a

BOOTP request packet, as follows:

1. As root, use a text editor to open the /etc/inetd.conf ﬁle.

2. Make sure that no other line in the ﬁle begins with “bootps.”

If there is such a line, your workstation is already conﬁgured as a BOOTP

server. Comment out this line by entering a pound sign (#) at the beginning of

the line, so that the server will use the BOOTPD program that you specify in

the next step.

3. Insert the following line anywhere in the ﬁle to conﬁgure your

workstation as a BOOTP server:

bootps dgram udp wait root /etc/bootpd bootpd

4. Save and exit the ﬁle.

Setting Up BOOTPD to Respond to Routers

When the operating system receives a BOOTP packet, it starts up BOOTPD. The

BOOTPD software matches the source IP address of the packet to an IP address in

its BOOTP table (bootptab) ﬁle to determine the pathnames to conﬁguration and

boot image ﬁles.

Entries in bootptab also include optional parameter tags. Bay Networks supplies a

sample bootptab file that Site Manager installs automatically in the /usr/wf/conﬁg

directory. Use a copy of this sample ﬁle if you do not already have a bootptab file.

Set up BOOTPD to respond to booting routers, as follows:

1. As root, view the contents of the /etc directory to determine whether it

already contains a bootptab ﬁle.

If it does contain a bootptab file, disregard Steps 2 and 3 and continue with

Step 4 to edit this ﬁle.

Note: The bootptab ﬁle can include the same boot image pathname for all

booting routers, or a different boot image for each IP address.
