3. Add the host name and address, and then save the file. For example, for a
MIL-4511H called alpha with an IP address 192.185.2.3 , add this line:
192.185.2.3 alpha
4. Edit BOOTP in the /etc directory containing the hostname of the MIL-4511H,
hardware type, hardware address, and the IP address. Format the entry:
<hostname of MIL-4511H>:ht=1:ha=<hardware address>:ip=<ip address>
For example, an entry named alpha , with a hardware address of 0040c8010203
and an IP address of 199.86.12.183 :
alpha:ht=1:ha=0040c8010203:ip=199.86.12.183:
5. Start the BOOTP daemon by typing the command /usr/etc/BOOTPd. The
MIL-4511H will broadcast BOOTP packets and will obtain a response from the
server and will use the IP address specified in /etc/BOOTP file.
