Bootptab file entries The following is an example of a /etc/bootptab file entry for an HP JetDirect print server: picasso:\ :hn:\ :ht=ether:\ :vm=rfc1048:\ :ha=0001E6123456:\ :ip=192.168.45.39:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:\ :gw=192.168.40.1:\ :lg=192.168.40.3:\ :T144="hpnp/picasso.cfg": Note that the configuration data contains tags that identify the various HP JetDirect parameters and their settings. The following table describes these tags. Tag nodename hn ht vm ha Description The name of the peripheral. This is an entry point to a list of parameters for a specific peripheral. This must be the first tag in an entry. (In the example, the nodename is picasso.) The host name tag. This tag does not take a value, but it causes the BOOTP daemon to download the host name to the HP JetDirect print server. The host name is printed on the HP JetDirect configuration page or a network application returns the host name on an SNMP sysName request. The hardware type tag. For the HP JetDirect print server, set this tag to ether (for Ethernet) or token (for Token Ring). This tag must precede the ha tag. The BOOTP report format tag (required). Set this tag to rfc1048. The hardware address tag. The hardware (MAC) address is the HP JetDirect print server's link-level or station address. You can find this address on the HP JetDirect configuration page as the Hardware Address. On HP JetDirect external print servers, this address is also printed on a label attached to the print server. 52 Chapter 3 Getting to know the print server EN
