Setting Up a UNIX Boot Server
3-5
Keep the following in mind when editing bootptab:
• The <hostname> definition can contain a maximum of 79 characters.
• The first character must be alphabetic.
• All characters must be alphanumeric.
• You can use a dot (.) to separate characters, but the character immediately
following the dot must be alphabetic.
• The hostname definition cannot contain an underscore.
T
able 3-1 lists the tags for router host names. Table 3-2 lists the tags for boot
image names.
Table 3-1. BOOTPD Tags for a Router Host Name
Tag
Required or
Optional Value Example
ip Required IP address — the host IP address
of the router.
ip=192.32.5.2
sm Optional Subnet mask — the host subnet
mask of the router.
sm=255.255.255.0
T129 Required Pathname of the router
configuration file. The maximum
path length is 49 characters.
T129="/usr/cfg/an_Bost.cfg
"
T130 Required Size of the router configuration file
in 512-byte blocks. The setting of
this tag determines how much
memory the router allocates for
the file. Set this tag to 0x0004.
T130=0x0004
tc Optional Table continuation
— pointer to a
definition in another location in the
same file for additional
information. The information this
tag points to is common to all
routers that need to boot using
BOOTP. If information in a
definition for a specific router is
inconsistent with the definition this
tag points to, BOOTPD uses the
information for the specific router.
