Configuring TFTP and BOOTP Servers
Troubleshooting BOOTP and TFTP Servers
• bad vendor magic cookie for host hostname
The vendor magic cookie, specified with the vm tag, was incorrectly
formatted. Correct the configuration entry and try to reboot the
BOOTP client. The vm tag can be one of the following values: auto,
rfc1048, or cmu.
• can't find tc=label
bootpd could not find a table continuation configuration entry with
the host field label. Correct the configuration entry and try to reboot
the BOOTP client. Type man 1M bootpd for more information.’
• duplicate hardware address: hardware_address
More than one configuration entry was specified for the client with
the indicated hardware_address. Ensure that only one configuration
entry exists for the hardware address in /etc/bootptab. Then, try
to reboot the BOOTP client.
• missing ha values for host hostname
The hardware address must be specified in hex and must be preceded
by the ht tag. If the hm tag is specified, the ha and ht tags must also
be specified.
• syntax error in entry for host hostname
The configuration entry for the indicated host hostname is incorrectly
formatted. Correct the configuration entry and try to reboot the
BOOTP client. Type man 1M bootpd for the correct syntax of the
BOOTP configuration file.
• unknown symbol in entry for host hostname
The configuration entry contains an unknown tag or invalid
character. Correct the configuration entry and try to reboot the
BOOTP client. Type man 1M bootpd for the correct syntax of the
BOOTP configuration file.
