Setting Up a BOOTP Server
To support EZ-Install or Netboot, the router needs a network connection to a
BOOTP server. You configure a UNIX workstation as a BOOTP server by
• Setting up BOOTP sockets
• Configuring BOOTPD (the BOOTP daemon)
On Sun workstations, you must first copy the BOOTPD program to the
appropriate directory.
Copying the BOOTPD Program on Sun Workstations
Depending on the operating system you use, Bay Networks may or may not ship
BOOTPD with the Site Manager package. The AIX and HP-UX operating
systems already have BOOTPD. SunOS and Solaris
do not, so Site Manager
automatically installs BOOTPD on Sun workstations running SunOS and Solaris.
Copy the bootpd file to the /etc directory as follows:
1. Log in to the UNIX workstation as root.
2. Enter the following command:
cp /usr/wf/bin/bootpd /etc
Setting Up BOOTP Sockets
A socket is a UNIX mechanism for creating virtual connections between
operating system and network processes. For each socket, the /etc/services file
must include a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) descriptor that provides
process-to-process addressing information.
Set up the send and receive sockets for the BOOTP process as follows:
1. Log in to the UNIX workstation as root.
Note: A daemon is an unattended process (that is, one that runs in the
background). An application typically calls a daemon to perform a standard
routine or service (in this case, BOOTP).
