3-6 Setup for IP Networks

UNIX:

Using RARP

To assign the IP address in UNIX by using RARP:

1. Append the following entry to your LAN (MAC) address

table, typically: /etc/ethers. The

<LAN-address>

can be

found on the LAN Address label on the server or (top of) the

tower; each pair of digits must be separated by a colon.

Example:

2. Make sure the host table and alias name databases are

updated as required by your systems.

3. Start the rarp daemon (if not already running), typically by

using the command: rarpd -a

4. Restart the server (cycle its power).

UNIX:

Using BOOTP

To assign the IP address in UNIX by using BOOTP:

1. Append the following entry to your boot table, typically

/etc/bootptab).

Example:

Notes ❏ The ht and vm fields must be entered exactly as in the exam-

ple. For Ethernet, ht=ether.

❏ In the ha field, for

<LAN-address>

use the address found on

the server or (top of) the tower. As in the example, use no

separators between its digits.

❏ In the ip field, for

<IP-address>

use the IP address

assigned by the network administrator.

<LAN-address> <host-name>
