Configuring the Bootptab File
Configure the bootptab file by using the following procedure and any ASCII text
editor to edit one of the files from Table 4-3.
Table 4-3: Bootp Server bootptab Files
1. Enter your IP parameters into the bootptab file for each LanProbe that you
want to configure.
Use this format.
nodename:\
tag=value:\
tag=value:\

tag=value
The nodename is the host name of the LanProbe. The nodename can be up to
40 characters long using alpha-numerics, dashes, and dots. Do not use spaces
or underscores in the nodename.
Each tag and its associated value is an IP parameter configured for a
LanProbe. Valid tags are listed in Table 4-4 on page 66. You must provide a
set of these tags for each LanProbe that you want to configure (some tags are
optional).
