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.

  • Implementation differences between bootpd for MPE/iX and bootpd for HP-UX.
