     bootpadd -	add client system to bootptab

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     bootpadd [	-n ] [ -b bootfile ] [ -h haddr	] [ -i iaddr ] host

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     bootpadd 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.
