DESCRIPTION
Admbootpclient manages the BOOTP server (daemon) configuration file.
This file contains information that is used by bootpd to allow
diskless client machines to discover information about themselves.
The diskless client will broadcast a BOOTP Request on the network,
and if a bootpd server knows about that client it will respond with
the information found in the configuration file.
Operations
add Adds an entry in the /etc/bootptab file.
delete Removes an entry in the /etc/bootptab file.
modify Modifies an entry in the /etc/bootptab file.
list Writes the contents of the /etc/bootptab file to standard
output.
Common Options
-H home_directory
is the home directory for clientname. This should be the
directory where the second-stage bootstrap is located.
-B bootfile
is the name of the second-stage bootstrap that clientname
uses if the client does not supply a filename in the
request.

-b boot_server
is the IP address of the server that holds the second-stage
bootstrap. The clientname should use this server when
downloading the file. If boot_server is specified, then no
file existence check will occur when replying to
clientname.
-G gateways
define the IP addresses of the gateways that clientname has
available.
-T hardware_type
defines the hardware type that clientname has. This allows
for the correct interpretation of the hardware address.
Hardware types are ethernet, ethernet3, ieee802, pronet,
chaos, arcnet, and ax.25.
-A hardware_address
defines the hardware address of clientname. This field is
used as the key for finding information about clientname.
-I host_IP_address
defines the IP address of clientname.
-M subnet_mask
defines the subnet mask for clientname. The mask is in the
form of a dotted-quad IP address.
-c template_host
defines a clientname that clientname should use for default
values.
Other Options
-C cookie_servers
define the IP addresses of cookie servers on the network.
These servers can provide keys for encryption or licensing.
-D domain_name_servers
define the IP addresses of the network name servers.
-i impress_servers
define the IP addresses of the impress servers.
-l log_servers
define the IP addresses of the log servers clientname can
use.
-L LPR_servers
define the IP addresses of the LPR servers clientname can
use.
-E IEN-116_servers
define the IP addresses of the IEN-116 names servers for
clientname.

-R resource_location_prototype_servers
define the IP addresses for clientname.
-t time_offset
defines the number of seconds clientname is from GMT.
-S time_servers
define the IP addresses that clientname can use to
synchronize its time. -h indicates that the clientname
should be returned in the reply.
-v lists the specified clients in aligned columns with column
headers.
-q lists the specified clients, unformatted.
EXAMPLES
In the following examples, the system administrator performs the
following actions: adds the host bar, to be used as a template host;
adds the host foo; deletes the host foo.
admbootpclient -o add -G "130.3.8.2 130.3.8.3" -T ether -M 255.255.255.0 bar
admbootpclient -o add -c bar -I 130.3.8.25 -A 1b:00:2c:9c:70:0f foo
admbootpclient -o delete foo
FILES
/etc/bootptab File that contains the BOOTP server database.
DIAGNOSTICS

Errors

Exit Codes
0 The operation was successful.
1 The operation was unsuccessful.
