Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services

Chapter 4  The BOOTP Service 

The Internet Boot Protocol daemon, or bootpd, is used to boot LAN devices
such as routers, printers, X-terminals, and diskless workstations.  Nodes
on the network use bootpd to get configuration information such as an IP 
address and a subnet mask and automatically boot the device.  This
chapter describes:

   *   how to configure bootpd.

   *   how to start bootpd once it has been configured.

   *   the implementation differences between bootpd for MPE/iX and
       bootpd for HP-UX.
