Library Administration Table 3-4 Library Administration Using the Remote Management Card BOOTP BOOTP is similar to DHCP, in that a BOOTP server dynamically assigns an IP address to any BOOTP client that requests one. The difference is that your system administrator must preconfigure the BOOTP server for the library. The system administrator assigns a permanent IP address to the library's MAC address. When the library is booted, the BOOTP server responds and assigns the permanent address to the library. The IP address never expires and the BOOTP server will not reissue the IP address to any other BOOTP client. Management Programs In addition to using your browser directly to manage your library, you can also use popular management programs, such as HP OpenView, HP Top Tools, and CA Unicenter TNG. In order to best use HP OpenView and CA Unicenter TNG, you must download a plug-in from the HP Customer Care website at www.hp.com/go/support. This plug-in can be easily installed in your environment. HP Top Tools has built-in native support for your library, and no plug-in is required.
