 The Ignite instl_bootd server has been modified so that it will respond to
anonymous Itanium clients (not successful on all network environments).
Use bootpd method, if:
 Ignite-UX server is running HP-UX 11.23 or greater
 Any release of Ignite-UX is installed
 bootpd is being used, e.g. this machine is a DHCP/BOOTP server
 Manual configuration of files is ok (/etc/dhcptab)
Use instl_bootpd method, if:
 The Ignite-UX server is running any OS release
 bootpd is not being used on this machine
 it is desired to use the same method (screens, setup, etc.) for Itanium and PA-RISC
clients
 Manual configuration of files is not desired (do not want to manually change
/etc/dhcptab or /etc/bootptab)
Using bootpd method:
To use this feature, configure an entry similar to the following in /etc/dhcptab:
dhcp_device_group:\
re:\
ncid:\
class-id="PXEClient:Arch:00002:.*":\
lease-time=300:\
subnet-mask=255.255.255.0:\
addr-pool-start-address=192.168.1.10:\
addr-pool-last-address=192.168.1.20:\
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi
The following is a brief explanation for each of the parts of the description above as well as what
areas to customize:
subnet-mask the subnet mask of your Itanium client
addr-pool-* starting and ending IP addresses to allocate
ba: broadcast the response
bf= boot file for network bootstrap loader
class-id 00002 stands for Itanium, 00000 would be x86
