bootpadd(1M)bootpadd(1M)NAMEbootpadd - add client system to bootptab
SYNOPSISbootpadd [ -n ] [ -b bootfile ] [ -h haddr ] [ -i iaddr ] host
DESCRIPTIONbootpadd is a tool to help automate the process of adding client hosts to
/usr/etc/bootptab. See bootp(1M) for more details on the contents and
format of /usr/etc/bootptab.
bootpadd can also be used to update existing information in the
/usr/etc/bootptab.
bootpadd checks the /usr/etc/bootptab to see if an entry already exists
for the specified host. If an entry exists, the current options are used
as defaults.
The bootpadd command takes the following arguments:
-b bootfile
Specifies the name of the boot file to be used for the specified
host. If the bootfile is not specified, the boot file specified in
the existing entry in /usr/etc/bootptab is used. If an entry does
not exist, then the default bootfile specified in the
/usr/etc/bootptab header is used.
-h haddr
The haddr field is the Ethernet address of the system in question
expressed as six hexadecimal bytes separated by colons. If haddr is
not specified, the haddr specified in the existing entry in
/usr/etc/bootptab is used. If an entry does not exist, then the
nvram(1M) command is used to read the eaddr non-volatile RAM
variable from the specified host.
-i iaddr
The iaddr field is the 32-bit Internet address of the system
expressed in standard Internet dot notation (see inetd(3N)). If
iaddr is not specified, the iaddr specified in the existing entry in
/usr/etc/bootptab is used. If an entry does not exist, then the
Internet name server is queried for the address.
-n Run bootpadd in test mode. Verify the information for the specified
host but do not write the /usr/etc/bootptab file.
