Installing the BootP Server on a Different Segment
and Using a Router
1
Perform Steps 1 through Step 4 beginning on page 5-16.
2
Determine which router is between the BootP server and the
BootP client (XNIC).
3
Telnet into the above router and enable BootP service. This
will allow the BootP request to be passed from the router.
4
While still logged in on the router, specify the address of the
BootP server or the network segment where a BootP server
can be found.
5
On the UNIX Platform that serves as the BootP server, be
sure you include the routing path to the router by using the
UNIX command:
route add host
router_IPaddress host_IPaddress
For example:
r o u t e a d d h o s t 2 0 0 . 1 . 1 0 6 . 1 1 2 0 0 . 1 . 1 0 6 . 4
6
Verify that the routing path is valid with the following UNIX
command:
n e t s t a t - r
7
Verify the communication to the router by Pinging to the
router using this format:
p i n g
r o u t e r ’ s I P a d d r e s s
For example:
p i n g 2 0 0 . 1 . 1 0 6 . 1 1
