Inside MultiPort/LT and Monitor Commands
2.2.5.2.1.
Configure Hostname Command
To change MultiPort/LT's hostname:
Conf> hostname
New Hostname [ ]: Webgate
Verify: 'Webgate' ... ok ? y
Conf>
2.2.5.2.2.
Configure Bootname Command
The file name on the boot host that the MultiPort/LT is to boot or load from is
specified by the "bootname" parameter. This applies to both booting from a
Macintosh and to booting from an FTP host.
To change MultiPort/LT's bootname:
configure bootname
bootname
or
Conf> bootname
New Bootname [ GWCode]: LT_Code_1.1
Verify: 'LT_Code_1.1' ... ok ? y
Conf>
If the "bootname" parameter isn't configured the bootname will default to
"LT_Code".
2.2.5.2.3.
Configure Bootzone Command
This applies to Macintosh Booting only. When the MultiPort/LT Monitor goes
"looking" for a Mac running MGBoot, it has to search in specific Zones. The
default is to search in the six AppleTalk Zones that the MultiPort/LT directly
connects to.
In the Figure 2-15, this corresponds to the four LocalTalk networks and the
EtherTalk Phase 1 and Phase 2 networks for each MultiPort/LT. If the
EtherTalk network and LocalTalk network 1 on MultiPort/LT 2 are in the same
Zone, then MultiPort/LT 1 will be able to boot from the Mac with the default
configuration.
Note that this case does not apply if one of MultiPort/LT 1's LocalTalk
networks is in the same Zone the Mac as in, as at this stage the MultiPort/LT
has not "seeded" any of its connected networks.
