BOOTP is more flexible; -it allows additional items of information to be returned to the -booting client; it also supports booting across gateways. - -[ From the CMU README file: ] - -Notes: -1) BOOTP was originally designed and implemented by Bill Croft at Stanford. - Much of the credit for the ideas and the code goes to him. We've added - code to support the vendor specific area of the packet as specified in - RFC1048. We've also improved the host lookup algorithm and added some - extra logging. - -2) The server now uses syslog to do logging. Specifically it uses the 4.3bsd - version. I've #ifdef'd all of these calls. If you are running 4.2 you - should compile without the -DSYSLOG switch. - -3) You must update your /etc/services file to contain the following two lines: - bootps 67/udp bootp # BOOTP Server - bootpc 68/udp # BOOTP Client - -4) Edit the bootptab. It has some explanitory comments, and there - is a manual entry describing its format (bootptab.5) - If you have any questions, just let us know. - -Construction: - [ See the file Installation which is more up-to-date. -gwr ] - - Make sure all of the files exist first. If anything is missing, - please contact either Walt Wimer or Drew Perkins by E-mail or phone. - Addresses and phone numbers are listed below. - - Type 'make'. The options at present are: -DSYSLOG which enables logging - code, -DDEBUG which enables table dumping via signals, and -DVEND_CMU - which enables the CMU extensions for CMU PC/IP. - - Edit the bootptab. The man page and the comments in the file should - explain how to go about doing so. If you have any problems, let me know. - - Type 'make install'. This should put all of the files in the right place. - - Edit your /etc/rc.local or /etc/inetd.conf file to start up bootpd upon - reboot. The following is a sample /etc/inetd.conf entry: - # BOOTP server - bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i - -Care and feeding: - If you change the interface cards on your host or add new hosts you will - need to update /etc/bootptab. Just edit it as before. Once you write - it back out, bootpd will notice that there is a new copy and will - reread it the next time it gets a request. - - If your bootp clients don't get a response then several things might be - wrong. Most often, the entry for that host is not in the database. - Check the hardware address and then check the entry and make sure - everything is right. Other problems include the server machine crashing, - bad cables, and the like. If your network is very congested you should - try making your bootp clients send additional requests before giving up. - - -November 7, 1988 - - -Walter L. Wimer Drew D.
