When enabled, BootP allows you to download the IP address, the
SubNet Mask, and the Router IP address from a BootP server on your
network. When operative, BootP checks that a valid IP address is not
installed before sending out requests for the data. It will keep on
sending requests for data until one of three conditions is satisfied:
BootP is disabled,
a valid BootP reply is received,

automatically. No management commands are possible while the
module reboots and self-tests.
