Configuring the BOOTP Table

  • Article

Each record in the BOOTP table contains the three fields that contain information that is returned to the BOOTP client:

  • Boot Image. Identifies the generic file name (such as "unix") of the requested boot file, based on the BOOTP client's hardware type.

  • File Name. Identifies the full path of the boot file (such as "/etc/vmunix") returned to the client by the BOOTP server, using TFTP.

  • File Server. Identifies the name of the TFTP server used to source the boot file.

To add entries in the BOOTP table, use DHCP Manager.
