Depending on the system, this entry might be called "bootps" instead of "bootp". In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the "#" (if there is no "#", then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the Print/Fax server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your system documentation to determine how to enter this information (many UNIX systems also have template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include: BRN_310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3 and: BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\ ip=192.189.207.3: Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file. As with rarp, the Print/Fax server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the machine is powered on.

2 - 6 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION
Depending on the system, this entry might be called “bootps” instead
of “bootp”.
BRN_310107 1
00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3
and:
BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\
ip=192.189.207.3:
Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to
BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the
configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host
and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.
As with rarp, the Print/Fax server will load its IP address from the
BOOTP server when the machine is powered on.
