Bootp Server Setup on an HP or Sun System
If your Bootp server is an HP-UX or Solaris system, use the following instructions
to configure the probe:
1. Determine the IP address to be used for the probe.
2. Determine the name to be used as the probe’s Domain Name Services (refer
to the HP ARPA Services manual) or configure an IP address and name for
the probe in your loca
l /etc/hosts file.
3. Make sure that the Bootp server can communicate with the probe (if they are
separated by a router, the router must support Bootp Relay).
4. From the Bootp server, edit the client configuration file and enter the
following parameters to be used for the probe (do not specify any other
parameters):
z MAC Address
z IP Address
z Default Gateway IP Address (if available)
z Subnet Mask
NOTE The Bootp server must support the vendor specific subnet mask field and the
default gateway field.
5. Start the Bootp daemon as described in “Starting the Bootp Server on an HP
or Sun System” on page 79.
6. Connect the power cord to the probe and to a power source (either 100-120/
VAC or 220-240/VAC). The probe does not have a power switch but
becomes operational when power is attached.
