This is an enhanced version of the CMU BOOTP server which was derived
|
|
|
|
|
from the original BOOTP server created by Bill Croft at Stanford.
|
|
|
|
|
This version merges all the enhancements and bug-fixes from the
|
|
|
|
|
NetBSD, Columbia, and other versions.

BOOTPD is a useful adjunct to the nfs diskless boot EPROM code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The alternatives for initiating a boot of a kernel across a network
|
|
|
|
|
are to use RARP protocol, or BOOTP protocol. BOOTP is more flexible;
|
|
|
|
|
it allows additional items of information to be returned to the
|
|
|
|
|
booting client; it also supports booting across gateways.

Notes:
|
|
|
|
|
1) BOOTP was originally designed and implemented by Bill Croft at Stanford.
|
|
|
|
|
Much of the credit for the ideas and the code goes to him. We've added
|
|
|
|
|
code to support the vendor specific area of the packet as specified in
|
|
|
|
|
RFC1048. We've also improved the host lookup algorithm and added some
|
|
|
|
|
extra logging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) The server now uses syslog to do logging. Specifically it uses the 4.3bsd
|
|
|
|
|
version. I've #ifdef'd all of these calls. If you are running 4.2 you
|
|
|
|
|
should compile without the -DSYSLOG switch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) You must update your /etc/services file to contain the following two lines:
|
|
|
|
|
bootps 67/udp bootp # BOOTP Server
|
|
|
|
|
bootpc 68/udp # BOOTP Client
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Edit the bootptab. It has some explanitory comments, and there
|
|
|
|
|
is a manual entry describing its format (bootptab.5)
|
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions, just let us know.

|
Make sure all of the files exist first. If anything is missing,
|
|
|
|
|
please contact either Walt Wimer or Drew Perkins by E-mail or phone.
|
|
|
|
|
Addresses and phone numbers are listed below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type 'make'. The options at present are: -DSYSLOG which enables logging
|
|
|
|
|
code, -DDEBUG which enables table dumping via signals, and -DVEND_CMU
|
|
|
|
|
which enables the CMU extensions for CMU PC/IP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Edit the bootptab. The man page and the comments in the file should
|
|
|
|
|
explain how to go about doing so. If you have any problems, let me know.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Type 'make install'. This should put all of the files in the right place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Edit your /etc/rc.local or /etc/inetd.conf file to start up bootpd upon
|
|
|
|
|
reboot. The following is a sample /etc/inetd.conf entry:
|
|
|
|
|
# BOOTP server
|
|
|
|
|
bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Care and feeding:
|
|
|
|
|
If you change the interface cards on your host or add new hosts you will
|
|
|
|
|
need to update /etc/bootptab. Just edit it as before. Once you write
|
|
|
|
|
it back out, bootpd will notice that there is a new copy and will
|
|
|
|
|
reread it the next time it gets a request.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your bootp clients don't get a response then several things might be
|
|
|
|
|
wrong. Most often, the entry for that host is not in the database.
|
|
|
|
|
Check the hardware address and then check the entry and make sure
|
|
|
|
|
everything is right. Other problems include the server machine crashing,
|
|
|
|
|
bad cables, and the like. If your network is very congested you should
|
|
|
|
|
try making your bootp clients send additional requests before giving up.
