Assigning the OkiLAN 6100e+ IP
Address with BOOTP
BOOTP is an acronym for BOOT Strap P rotocol.
Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a
unique 32-bit IP address assigned to it. TCP/IP network
devices will have both an IP address and a 48 bit
Ethernet/Token-Ring (network hardware) address.
Ethernet addresses usually cannot be configured and
are hard coded by the manufacturer of the device.
BOOTP is a protocol used by devices that know their
network hardware address, but do not know their IP
address. When powering up on a network, a device that
uses BOOTP will broadcast its network hardware
address in a BOOT request packet. A BOOTP server
