Specify the Boot (TFTP) Server
The following commands let the administrator specify the TFTP server (boot server)
and boot file name. The administrator should first configure the IP address of the
TFTP server and file name (kernel) from which to boot.
To set the IP address of the server and the file to boot from, use the following
commands:
-> dhcp bootp tftpserver <net> | <ipaddr> | <tftpserver ipaddr>
-> dhcp bootp file [<net> | <ipaddr>] | <filename>
To clear the IP address of the server and the file to boot from, enter:
-> dhcp bootp tftpserver [<net> | <ipaddr>] 0.0.0.0
Example 1:
To set the global BootP server IP address to 192.168.254.7:
-> dhcp bootp tftpserver 192.168.254.7
Example 2:
To set the subnet 192.168.254.0 server IP address to 192.168.254.8:
-> dhcp bootp tftpserver 192.168.254.0 192.168.254.8
Example 3:
To set the client 192.168.254.21 server IP address to 192.168.254.9, enter:
-> dhcp bootp tftpserver 192.168.254.21 192.168.254.9
Example 4:
To set the subnet 192.168.254.0 boot file to “kernel.100”:
-> dhcp bootp file 192.168.254.0 kernel.100
Example 5:
To clear the global BootP server IP address and file name:
-> dhcp bootp tftpserver 0.0.0.0
Example 6:
