2. Edit the /etc/hosts file by adding the EMM-E6 MAC address and
follow it with the same unique name you used in step one above.
(e.g., 00:00:1d:32:0c:1b EMME6).
3. If you already have a /tftpboot directory, confirm the rarp setup of your
workstation as follows:
Request a process status and grep for rarpd
(e.g., unix% ps -aux | grep rarpd).
The following information represents a typical output:
user 161 7.7 1.2 32 184 p3 S 12:00 grep rarpd
root 87 0.0 0.9 48 136 ? S 11:05 rarpd -a
root 88 0.0 0.0 24 0 ? IW 11:05 rarpd -a
The term rarpd -a, located at the end of the root string, indicates rarp is
active. If rarp is NOT running, only the grep process appears.
4. If you do NOT have a /tftpboot directory, then you must create one
(e.g., unix% mkdir tftpboot), and start the rarp daemon
(e.g., unix% rarpd -a).
5. Ensure that the /tftpboot directory is not owned
(e.g., unix% chown nobody tftpboot).
6. Store the hex image file in the /tftpboot directory as emme6.hex.
This step requires decompression of the zipped image file. If
you do not have a UNIX unzip utility, access to a PC with
pkunzip, or a way to FTP the decompressed image to your
UNIX workstation, contact Cabletron Technical Support.
