Bootptab File Entries
An example of a
/etc/bootptab
file entry for an HP JetDirect
print server is provided below:
Note that the configuration data contains “tags” to identify the
various HP JetDirect parameters and their settings. The tags are
identified in Table 3.1.
picasso:\
:hn=picasso:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\
:ha=0060b0123456:\
:ip=13.10.10.248:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:\
:gw=13.10.10.1:\
:lg=13.10.10.3:\
:T144=“hpnp/picasso.cfg”:

point to a list of parameters for a specific peripheral.
nodename
must be the first field in an entry. (In the
example above,
nodename
is “picasso”.)
hn
The host name tag. This tag causes the BOOTP daemon
to download the host name to the HP JetDirect print
server. The host name will be printed on the JetDirect
configuration page, or returned on an SNMP sysName
request by a network application.
ht
The hardware type tag. For the HP JetDirect print server,
set this to
ether
(for Ethernet) or
token
(for Token Ring).
This tag must precede the
ha
tag.
vm
The BOOTP report format tag (required). Set this
parameter to
rfc1048
.
ha
The hardware address tag. The hardware (MAC) address
is the link-level, or station address of the HP JetDirect print
server. It can be found on the HP JetDirect configuration
page as the
LAN HW ADDRESS
. On HP JetDirect
external print servers, it is printed on a label attached to
the print server.
ip
The IP address tag (required). This address will be the HP
JetDirect print server’s IP address.
