Based on this configuration, the BOOTPTAB file looks like:
# Legend: gw –– gateways
#ha –– hardware address
#ht –– hardware type
➀
#ip –– host IP address
#sm –– subnet mask
#vm –– BOOTP vendor extensions format
➁
#tc –– template host
#Default string for each type of Ethernet client
defaults5E: ht=1:vm=rfc1048
#Entries for SLC 5/05 processors:
sigma1: tc=defaults5E:ip=12.34.56.1:ha=0000BC1D1234
sigma2: tc=defaults5E:ip=12.34.56.2:ha=0000BC1D5678
sigma3: tc=defaults5E:ip=12.34.56.3:ha=0000BC1D9012
➀

Run the Boot Server Utility
You can run either the DOS-based utility or the Windows-based
BOOTP utility, but not both.
If you have BOOTP enabled and the message BOOTP response
not received appears, check the cabling connections and the
BOOTP server system.
If you’re using
this platform
then invoke this
executable from the See page
DOS-based DTLBOOTD.EXE DOS command line
(specify optional
parameters if necessary)
G–10
Windows DTLBOOTW.EXE Windows Program
Manager
G–10
Both utilities are located in the C:\ABIC\BIN directory and use the
information contained in the BOOTPTAB file.
Be sure to place the BOOTPTAB file in the directory from which you
are running the BOOTP utility. If this file is not found in that
directory, the utility will try to find the file in the directory specified
by the environment variable ABIC_CONFIG.
