636
The setup example described in this section includes:
● 1 Access Point (either an Altitude 4710 or Altitude 4750 model)
● 1 Linux/Unix BOOTP Server
● 1 TFTP Server
To configure BootP options using a Linux/Unix BootP Server:
1 Set the Linux/Unix BootP Server and Access Point on the same Ethernet segment.
2 Configure the bootptab file (/etc/bootptab) on the Linux/Unix BootP Server in any one of the
formats that follows:
Using options 186, 187 and 188:
AP47xx:ha=00a0f88aa6d8\ <LAN MAC Address>
:sm=255.255.255.0\ <Subnet Mask>
:ip=157.235.93.128\ <IP Address>
:gw=157.235.93.2\ <gateway>
:T186="157.235.93.250"\ <TFTP Server IP>
:T187="apfw.bin"\ <Firmware file>
:T188="cfg.txt": <Configuration file>
Using options 66, 67 and 129:
AP47xx:ha=00a0f88aa6d8\ <LAN MAC Address>
:sm=255.255.255.0\ <Subnet Mask>
:ip=157.235.93.128\ <IP Address>
:gw=157.235.93.2\ <gateway>
:T66="157.235.93.250"\ <TFTP Server IP>
:T67="apfw.bin"\ <Firmware file>
:T129="cfg.txt": <Configuration file>
Using options sa, bf and 136:
AP47xx:ha=00a0f88aa6d8\ <LAN MAC Address>
:sm=255.255.255.0\ <Subnet Mask>
:ip=157.235.93.128\ <IP Address>
:gw=157.235.93.2\ <gateway>
:sa=157.235.93.250\ <TFTP Server IP>
:bf=/tftpboot/cfg.txt\ <Configuration file>
:T136="/tftpboot/": <TFTP root directory>
NOTE
The bf option prefixes a forward slash (/) to the configuration file name. The forward slash may not be
supported on Windows based TFTP Servers.
3 Copy the firmware and configuration files to the appropriate directory on the TFTP Server.
By default, auto update is enabled on the Access Point (since the LAN Port is a DHCP Client,
out-of-the-box auto update support is on the LAN Port).
4 Restart the Access Point.
