Command Summaries

The following pages describe usage and command line
options for these DOS commands, included with the kernel:

Bootp

"
Dhcp
"
Bootp
bootp [-fnvw] [-d address] [-r retries] [-t seconds]
[pctcp.ini_file]
bootp [-? | -version]
The bootp command runs the Bootp client program on your
6400 computer to obtain network configuration information
from a remote server.
-d address
-f
Specifies the IP address of the server to
which the Bootp client sends its request. The
address specified with this option overrides
the server-address=ip_address
parameter setting in the [pctcp bootp] section
of PCTCP.INI. If the server's address is not
set, the Bootp client broadcasts its request to
the network and ignores this option.
Forces bootp to replace your 6400 computer's
current IP address with a new one from the
Bootp server. (Typically, a server does not
give an IP address to a client that already has
one.) If the server does not reply with a new
IP address, the old address stays in use.
Bootp ignores this option if you also use the
-n option.
"
NOTE: Never use the –f option if you
have network applications
already running on the 6400
computer. Your applications may
lose their TCP connections.
