4 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.

• Implementation differences between bootpd for MPE/iX and bootpd

for HP-UX.
