a host name or IP address.
Qualifiers

request.
• By default, upon receiving a request, BOOTP looks for this file in
TCPIP$TFTP_ROOT:[host], where host is the client’s host name, excluding
the domain.
• If this directory does not exist, BOOTP uses:
TCPIP$TFTP_ROOT:[000000].
• When the TCP/IP Services software receives a boot request, BOOTP verifies
the existence and size of this file.
