BOOTPFWD 8: Unable to resolve server name: server_name.
Source: BOOTPFWD-3.00
Explanation: The destination server name in the BOOTP packet could not be resolved to an IP address. The forwarder must know the address of the BOOTP server to forward requests.
Action: Check the server name; use NIASCFG to enter a new IP address, if necessary. You can enter a server name, rather than an IP address, if you use the LOAD BOOTPFWD command at your console. When a given server name cannot be resolved to an IP address by the BOOTPFWD module, it generates the message above.
To help resolve a server name, the server name to IP address mapping must have an entry in thesys:etc\hosts file. You can enter the IP address of the server instead of the name at BOOTPFWD load time toavoid the problem.
