OKI OkiLAN 6010e User’s Guide
RARP or BOOTP
If you are using a BOOTP or RARP server and the
OkiLAN 6010e is not getting an IP address, check the
following:
•
Verify the BOOTP/RARP configuration files
are correctly set up (“/etc/ethers” and
“/etc/hosts” for RARP and “/etc/bootptab”
for BOOTP). Verify the files have the correct
hardware address of the OkiLAN 6010e. If
using RARP, check that the hostnames are
the same between the “/etc/ethers” and
“/etc/hosts” files.
UNIX BOOTP
If you are running UNIX, try the following methods
with the BOOTP server (check the documentation for
your particular UNIX flavor).
•
Verify the BOOTP server has reread the
“/etc/bootptab” file when the new entry was
added. If the BOOTP server was running
when you added the new entries, the server
might not have reread the new bootptab file.
Try sending the SIGHUP signal to the
running BOOTP server. For example,
kill –HUP <process id of bootpd> tells it to
reread “/etc/bootptab”. Most BOOTP servers
support this option. Check your local
BOOTP documentation. If this does not
work, restart the BOOTP server (kill and
restart the process).
