editor to edit one of the files from Table 4-2.
Table 4-2: Bootp Server bootptab Files
1. Enter your IP parameters into the bootptab file for each probe that you want
to configure.
Use this format.
nodename:\
tag=value:\
tag=value:\
...
tag=value
The nodename is the host name of the probe. The nodename can be up to 40
characters long using alpha-numerics, dashes, and dots. Do not use spaces or
underscores in the nodename.
Each tag and its associated value is an IP parameter configured for a probe.
Valid tags are listed in Table 4-3 on page 88. You must provide a set of these
tags for each probe that you want to configure (some tags are optional).
