I'm trying to get a bootp server to allocate ip addresses out to devices. I have one for DHCP and now I need one for bootp. I don't want to have to know the mac address of each machine that will request an IP address from the server, but I can't figure out how to avoid it.
Can somebody tell me whether it is possible to have a bootp server giving out addresses without knowing the MAC address and placing them in the bootptab file. I did read the following on a web page, but I could'nt get it to work # Dynamic hosts will be added at end of file # You need to define ranges of dynamic IP to assign from this bootp server # use dummy name ".dynamic-X" where X is the range number starting with 1 # Generic option tag T254 tells how many IP addresses to assign from that #range Any help would be welcome Thanks ========================================================== Shem Page Tel 408 523-5305 Systems Engineer Fax 408 736-0100 Allied Telesyn Web: http://www.alliedtelesyn.com 960 Stewart Dr. Suite B email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sunnyvale, California 94085 Simply connecting the IP world ========================================================== -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
