1 /FILE
/FILE=file
Optional.
Specifies the name of the client's system image or other file to
download upon request.
o By default, upon receiving a request, BOOTP looks for this
file in TCPIP$TFTP_ROOT:[host], where host is the client's
host name, excluding the domain.
o If this directory does not exist, BOOTP uses:
TCPIP$TFTP_ROOT:[000000].
o When the TCP/IP Services software receives a boot request,
BOOTP verifies the existence and size of this file.
2 /GATEWAYS
/GATEWAYS=hosts
/NOGATEWAYS=hosts
Optional. Default: None.
Specifies the gateways used for routing.
3 /HARDWARE
/HARDWARE=ADDRESS=hex_addr
Required.
Specifies the client's hardware address. For hex_addr, specify:
hh-hh-hh-hh-hh-hh.
4 /NETWORK_MASK
/NETWORK_MASK=IP_address
Required if you use subnets; otherwise optional.
Specifies the part of the host field of an IP address identified
as the subnet.
The software calculates the default by setting the following:
o The bits representing the network field to 1
o The bits representing the host field to 0
You can divide the host field into a site-specific subnetwork
and a host field. If you use subnets, you must specify a subnet
field.
5 /SERVERS
/SERVERS=type=host
Optional.
Specifies other servers whose names BOOTP can supply to clients.
Here, host specifies a host name or IP address and type can be
one or more of the following:
[NO]COOKIE Cookie server
[NO]IEN_NAME IEN-116 name server
[NO]IMPRESS Impress network image server (IMAGEN)
[NO]LPR Berkeley 4BSD print server
[NO]LOG MIT-LCS UDP logging server
[NO]NAME BIND name server
[NO]RESOURCE Resource Location Protocol
(RLP) server (RFC-887)
[NO]TIME Internet time server (RFC-868)
6 /TIME_OFFSET
/TIME_OFFSET=seconds
Optional. Default: 0 seconds.
Specifies the time difference, in seconds, between the client's
time zone and Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) expressed in
seconds. This value is zero (0) in the British Isles and parts
of Europe, a positive number for locations east of the zero
meridian, and a negative number for locations west of the zero
meridian.
