7.5.3.4.3 BOOTP Parameters The server version of DHCP fully supports the
following BOOTP parameters. If a BOOTP client makes a request of the server,
it acts as a BOOTP server.

Boot File Server Address
Specifies the server address of the boot file.
Boot File Server Name
Specifies the host name of the server with the boot file.
Boot File Size
Specifies the length in 512-octet blocks of the default boot image for the client.
Specify the file length as a number.

Specifies a list of RFC 865 cookie servers available to the client. Enter the servers
in order of preference.
Use this format: ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd.

through the Domain Name System.
