To configure bootpd, you will edit three files: the services file,
which lists the individual services that comprise the suite of Internet
Services, the inetd configuration file, which informs the Internet
daemon about running bootpd on this host, and the bootpd
configuration file, which contains client and
relay information. These tasks are
explained in the following sections.
Editing the Services File
The services file associates official service names and aliases with the port
number and protocol the services use. To enable bootpd, you must edit
the services file. Perform the following:
- Open the services file with an MPE text editor. You may edit the
/etc/services file from the POSIX shell or the
SERVICES.NET.SYS file from MPE/iX, whichever you prefer. Both
names should point to the same file.
- Verify that the following lines exist in the file or add them if they do
not:
bootps 67/udp # Bootstrap protocol server
bootpc 68/udp # Bootstrap protocol client
- If the lines already exist in the file and they are preceded by a pound
symbol (#), delete the symbol and any spaces before the service
name to enable the service.
- Save the file and exit the editor program.
Adding BOOTP Server to inetd Configuration
The configuration file for inetd determines which installed Internet
Services are available to users. To add bootpd to your system, you
need to edit the configuration file for inetd, then have
inetd re-read the configuration. Perform the following:
- Open the inetd configuration file with a text editor. You may
edit the /etc/inetd.conf file from the POSIX shell or the
INETDCNF.NET.SYS file from MPE/iX, whichever you prefer. Both
names should point to the same file.
- Verify that the following line exists in the file or add it if it does
not:
bootps dgram udp wait MANAGER.SYS /SYS/NET/BOOTPD bootpd
- If the line already exists in the file and it is preceded by a pound
symbol (#), delete the symbol and any spaces before the service
name to enable the service.
- Save the file and exit the editor program.
- Signal inetd to reread the configuration file by entering the
following command at the CI prompt:
:INETD.NET.SYS -c
Or you may enter this command from the POSIX shell:
$/etc/inetd -c
- If you have added bootpd to the inetd configuration
file while the Internet daemon is not running, you must start
inetd to start the BOOTP server. To do so, stream the
job JINETD.NET.SYS from the CI prompt.
:STREAM JINETD.NET.SYS
