Setting Up a BootP Server
To support EZ-Install or Netboot, the BayStack router needs a network connection
to a BootP server. You configure a UNIX workstation as a BootP server by:
• Setting up BootP sockets
• Configuring the BootP Daemon (BootPD)
Setting Up BootP Sockets
A socket is a UNIX mechanism for creating virtual connections between
operating-system and network processes. For each socket, the /etc/services file
must include a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) descriptor that provides
process-to-process addressing information.
To set up the send and receive sockets for BootP:
1.
Log in to the UNIX workstation as
root
.
2.
Use a text editor to insert the following two lines in the
/etc/services
file:
Configuring BootPD
A daemon is an unattended process (that is, one that runs in the background). An
application typically calls a daemon to perform a standard routine or service (in
this case, BootP).
Complete the following tasks to configure BootPD on a UNIX workstation:
• On Sun workstations, copy the BootPD program to the /etc directory.
• Set up BootPD to run.
• Set up BootPD to respond to BayStack routers.
Copying BootPD on Sun Workstations
Depending on the operating system you use, Bay Networks may or may not ship
BootPD with the Site Manager package.
