AXIS 5400 User’s Manual Section 3: Basic Installation

Using BOOTP

in UNIX

Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using BOOTP:

1. Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically

performed by editing the file: /etc/bootptab

Example:

Notes: ❏ Enter the

ht and vm fields exactly as shown in the example.

❏ The

ha field is the Ethernet address/node address and the ip field

is the IP address of your AXIS 5400.

❏ The

gw and sm fields correspond to the default router address and

subnet mask.

❏ If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply

replace the host name entry with the IP address in the example

above.

2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases, as

required by your system.

3. If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is

typically performed using the

bootpd command.

4. Restart the AXIS 5400 to download the IP address, default router

address, and subnet mask.

The AXIS 5400 can automatically download a customized config file

from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the

TFTP server’s IP address to your boot table. The config file is

downloaded immediately after the AXIS 5400 receives its IP address.
