Setting the IP Address Dynamically with BOOTP
BOOTP allows a client machine to find its own IP address. BOOTP is IP/
UDP based and it can pass through routers.
2.6.1 Setting the IP address with BOOTP on Sun
1. Use a text editor to open the
/etc/hosts
file.
2. Add a host name and hardware address on a single line (A device
named “alpha” with an address “192.115.2.1,” enter:
192.115.2.1 alpha
(Save the file)
3. Create a bootptab in the
/etc
directory. To do this, type:
<hostname of FastPort>:ht=1:ha=<hardware addr.>:ip=<ip addr.>
4. Start the BOOTP daemon by typing.
/usr/etc/bootp
5. Power cycle FastPort. It will broadcast the BOOTP packets, obtain a
response, and then uses the IP address specified in
/etc/bootptab
.
