- You should have default entries for the subnet mask in your master bootptab file (/etc/bootptab), something like :
-
- .......................
- #Default Entry :
-
- default.def:\
- :sm=255.255.255.0:\ # subnet mask
- :ht=ethernet:\ # ...strange, but it looks like this matters somehow
- :ds=xxx.yyy.zzz.xxx aaa.bbb.cc.dd:\ # Your favorite DNS goes here
- :ts=ccc.sss.iii.ddd: # Thats for the time server, if there is one
- .... etc etc
-
- As far as i remember, the gateway adress should be passed automatically by the gateway which receives/routes the bootp-request.
