AX3000 - User's Manual

The main capabilities of the bootpd configuration file are as follows:

- tc: network description

- ht: network type

- sa: IP address of tftp host

- gw: optional router

- ha: Ethernet address of the AX3000

- ip: IP address of the AX3000 (this address is only used during the

downloading operation)

- bf: full firmware file name (path included)

Examples of bootp configuration files:

a) When the AX3000 and the tftp host are on the same network

net:hn:df=/etc/btdump:ht=ethernet:sa=192.168.1.252:to=auto:
axel1:tc=net:ht=ethernet:ha=00A034000001:ip=192.168.1.242:bf=/tmp/axel:

b) When the AX3000 accesses the tftp host via a router

net:hn:df=/etc/btdump:ht=ethernet:sa=192.1.1.243:to=auto:
net1:tc=net:sm=255.255.255.000:gw=192.168.1.252:
axel1:tc=net1:ht=ethernet:vm=rfc1048:ha=00A034000001:ip=192.168.1.242:bf=
/usr/axel/firm9645:

IMPORTANT: if a problem occurred during a previous download operation
(whatever method was used), the firmware of the target AX3000 may have
been erased. To restore valid firmware, the bootp+tftp protocol will
automatically be run when this target AX3000 is switched on.
