Appendix D
Sample BootP Configuration File
This appendix provides an example of a BootP configuration file. The BootP
server searches for this file, called bootptab (or BOOTPTAB.TXT, depending on
your operating system), that contains the site-dependent information needed to
perform the software download and configuration, including IP addresses. You
can modify this sample BootP configuration file or create one of your own.
The following listing is a sample BootP configuration file:
# The following is a sample of a BootP configuration file that was extracted from
# a Bay Networks EZ LAN network management application. Note that other BootP daemons
# can use a configuration file with a different format.
#
# Before using your switch BootP facility, you must customize your BootP configuration
# file with the appropriate data.
#
# Blank lines and lines beginning with '#' are ignored.
#
# Legend:
#
# first field -- hostname
# ht -- hardware type

# tc -- template host (points to similar host entry)
# ip -- host IP address
# hd -- bootfile home directory
# bf -- bootfile
# EZ dt -- device type
# EZ fv -- firmware version
# EZ av -- agent version
#
# Fields are separated with a pipe (|) symbol. Forward slashes (/) are required
# to indicate that an entry is continued to the next line.
