Setting Up a BootP Server
To support EZ-Install or Netboot, AN/ANH and ARN routers need a network
connection to a BootP server. You configure a UNIX workstation as a BootP
server by:
•
Setting up BootP sockets
•
Configuring the BootP Daemon (BootPD)
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.
To set up the send and receive sockets for BootP:
1.
Log in to the UNIX workstation as
root
.
2.
Use a text editor to insert the following two lines in the
/etc/services
file:
Configuring BootPD
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).
Complete the following tasks to configure BootPD on a UNIX workstation:
•
On Sun workstations, copy the BootPD program to the
/etc
directory.
•
Set up BootPD to run.
•
Set up BootPD to respond to AN/ANH and ARN routers.
Copying BootPD on Sun Workstations
Depending on the operating system you use, Nortel Networks may or may not
ship BootPD with the Site Manager package.
