Select Configure Booting IP Addresses Now from the Server Setup: IP Addresses dialog box

(Figure 10 (page 32)), then click Next to proceed to the Configure Booting IP Addresses dialog

box shown in Figure 11 (page 33).

Figure 11 Configure Booting IP Addresses

Use the Configure Booting IP Addresses dialog box to register client IP addresses with their physical

MAC addresses. The IP addresses and corresponding reserved MAC addresses are read from the

/etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab file on the server to display in the Booting IP Addresses

window. IP addresses with blank reserved MAC addresses are not currently reserved for any client.

If you want to add a new IP address to reserve for a client, click in the IP text box and enter the IP

address intended for your client. Then click in the reserved for: 0x text box and enter the client’s

MAC address. Click Add to enter the IP address/MAC address pair into the Booting IP Addresses

window. The MAC address given here must be the MAC address of the network interface to be

used to boot the system over the network.

If the IP address you want to reserve for a client is already listed in the Booting IP Addresses

window, select that line. The IP address will appear in the IP text box, and the current MAC address

it is reserved for, if there is one, will appear in the reserved for: 0x box. Enter the client MAC

address in the reserved for: 0x box, then click Modify. The IP address will then appear in the

Booting IP Addresses window with the client MAC you just entered.

You can remove sets of IP addresses/MACs from the Booting IP Addresses window by selecting

the line and then clicking Remove.

Continue assigning IP addresses to clients’ MACs until all the clients to be booted from the Ignite-UX

server are registered. You can modify this information in the future by editing the /etc/opt/

ignite/instl_boottab file, or via the Ignite-UX GUI under Options→Server Configuration.

When you have completed registering clients, click OK to write the contents of the Booting IP

Addresses window to the /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab file.
