Cabletron Systems SFCS-200BX User Manual

To set up a tftpboot server, on a SunOS 4.1.x system, perform the following
steps:

This procedure only has to be done the first
time that the switch is turned on and each
SCP is upgraded. The next time that the soft-
ware is upgraded, put the upgrade file in
/tftpboot.

1.

In /etc/inetd.conf, uncomment the last line shown below so that the file
appears as follows:

#

# Tftp service is provided primarily for booting.  Most sites

# run this only on machines acting as “boot servers.” 

# Since these can be security holes, they are commented out by default.

#

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tftpd in.tftpd /tftpboot

2.

Add the following line to /etc/services:

tftp          69/udp

3.

Set up the tftpboot directory with the following command lines:

host: 

mkdir /tftpboot

host: 

cp <upgrade-file> /tftpboot

4.

At the root level, determine the process number of inetd by entering the
following:

host: 

ps -aux | grep inetd

Something similar to the following will be displayed:

root       216  0.0  0.0   48    0 ?  IW   Jan 27  0:14 inetd

where 216 represents the process number of inetd.

5.

Enter the following command to make inetd re-read its configuration file:

host: 

kill -HUP 216
