Configuring the BOOTP server

 

To configure the BOOTP server, you can use the Configure TCP/IP BOOTP (CFGTCPBP) command or the Configure TCP/IP Applications (CFGTCPAPP) command.

There are two ways to configure the BOOTP server:

• Specify the CFGTCPBP command from the command prompt.

• Specify the Configure TCP/IP Applications (CFGTCPAPP) command from the command line and select option 4 (Configure BOOTP).

After you specify the command, the following display appears:

Figure 1. Configure TCP/IP BOOTP display

                             Configure TCP/IP BOOTP                                                        System:    SYSNAM01  
 Select one of the following:  
      1. Change BOOTP attributes       2. Work with BOOTP table  
 
 

The following commands control the BOOTP server:

• The Change BOOTP Attributes (CHGBPA) command allows an administrator to set the configurable attributes for the BOOTP server.

• The Work with BOOTP Table (WRKBPTBL) command allows an administrator to work with the BOOTP table.
