Nortel Networks 1000BASE-LX User Manual

Using the BayStack 420 10/100 Switch

  

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:

# configuration file with the appropriate data.
