Setting the UNIX System

TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal 31
Adjust the parameter values.
The Kernel must be 're-linked' after these modifications.
3.4 - CONFIGURING A RARP SERVER
For a UNIX host to act as a RARP server it must:
- run the RARP daemon -
/etc/rarpd
,
- have a list of paired Ethernet addresses and associated host names (for
the relevant Platine terminals and any other devices) in the file
/etc/ethers
.
- have a list of paired IP addresses and associated host names (for the
relevant Platine terminals and any other devices) in the file
/etc/hosts
(see Section 3.1).
Example of
/etc/ethers
:
00:01:34:22:00:44 vangogh
00:A0:34:02:45:03 axel1
00:A0:34:02:45:04 axel2
Note on SCO UNIX: the SCO default configuration doesn't launch the RARP
daemon. To use this daemon, modify the
/etc/tcp
file and reboot the SCO
UNIX host.
