Entries in
bootptab
also include optional parameter tags. Nortel Networks
supplies a sample
bootptab
file that Site Manager installs automatically in the
/
usr/wf/config
directory. Use a copy of this sample file if you do not already have a
bootptab
file.
To set up BootPD to respond to booting routers:
1.
As
root
,
view the contents of the
/etc
directory to determine if it already
contains a
bootptab
file.
If it does contain a
bootptab
file, skip steps 2 and 3 and proceed to step 4 to
edit this file.
2.
Enter the following command to copy the
bootptab
file to the
/etc
directory:
cp /usr/wf/config/bootptab /etc
3.
Use a text editor to open the
bootptab
file in the
/etc
directory.
4.
In the
bootptab
file, type the information that pertains to the AN/ANH
and ARN routers
in your network.
The section that follows explains how to format your entries. Use Tables
2-1
and
2-2
to determine which tags and values you need.
Figure 2-1
shows the
sample
bootptab
file included with the Site Manager software. The comments
in this file explain the sample definitions.
5.
Save the
bootptab
file changes.
Editing the bootptab File
Specify a hostname definition in the
bootptab
file for each AN/ANH or ARN
router in your network. The format of each definition in the
bootptab
file is as
follows:
<
hostname
>:\
:
<tg>
=
<value>
:\
:
<tg>
=
<value>
:\
:
<tg>
=
<value>
:
Note:
The
bootptab
file must reside in the
/etc
directory. BootPD fails if it
cannot find the
bootptab
file in
/etc
.
