This appendix provides a sample BootP configuration file. The BootP server 
searches for this file, called bootptab (or BOOTPTAB.TXT, depending on your 
operating system), which contains the site-specific information (including IP 
addresses) needed to perform the software download and configuration. You can 
modify this sample BootP configuration file or create one of your own.

A sample BootP configuration file follows:

# The following is a sample of a BootP configuration file that was extracted from

# a Bay Networks EZ LAN network management application.  Note that other BootP daemons

# can use a configuration file with a different format.

#

# Before using your switch BootP facility, you must customize your BootP configuration

# file with the appropriate data.

#

# Blank lines and lines beginning with '#' are ignored.

#

# Legend:

#

#       first field -- hostname

#                ht -- hardware type

#                ha -- host hardware address

#                tc -- template host (points to similar host entry)

#                ip -- host IP address

#                hd -- bootfile home directory

#                bf -- bootfile

# EZ             dt -- device type

# EZ             fv -- firmware version

# EZ             av -- agent version

#

# Fields are separated with a pipe (|) symbol. Forward slashes (/) are required

# to indicate that an entry is continued to the next line.
