Section 3: Basic Installation

Using BOOTP

in UNIX

Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using BOOTP:

1. Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically

performed by editing the file:

/etc/bootptab

Example:

Notes:

❏ Enter the

and

fields exactly as shown in the example.

❏ The

field is the Ethernet address/node address and the

field

is the IP address of your AXIS 5600.

❏ The

and

fields correspond to the default router address and

subnet mask.

❏ If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply

replace the host name entry with the IP address in the example
above.

2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases, as

required by your system.

3. If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is

typically performed using the

bootpd

command.

4. Restart the AXIS 5600 to download the IP address, default router

address, and subnet mask.

The AXIS 5600 can automatically download a customized config file
from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the
TFTP server’s IP address to your boot table. The config file is
downloaded immediately after the AXIS 5600 receives its IP address.
