Configuring Terminal
Start-Up Resources
Several network resources are either required or recommended for starting up the
terminal initially in a network-boot environment. The resources in this category use
the following 6 network protocols:

BOOTP

DNS
A brief description of the resources and any special configuration requirements for
each protocol are provided in this chapter. Some resources (such as NFS) may
also be described in other chapters of this document.
BOOTP
BOOTP is a protocol used in a network-boot environment for providing all
information that the terminal needs to start with minimal functionality. Either
BOOTP or DHCP (described below) is required in a network-boot environment.
BOOTP is not used in local-boot environments.
NFS
TFTP
Note
Since DHCP has mostly superseded BOOTP, it is
recommended that DHCP be used instead of BOOTP
for network boot.
Note
BOOTP is not currently supported by Microsoft NT,
although it is supported by Windows 2000.
DHCP
Time Server
