ex*_protocols

The eg*0_protocols, ei*0_protocols, or ew*0_protocols environment variable sets
network protocols for booting and other functions.
To list the network devices on your system, enter the show device command. The Ethernet
controllers start with the letters "eg," "ei," or "ew," for example, ewa0. The third letter is
the adapter ID for the specific Ethernet controller. Replace the asterisk (*) with the adapter
ID letter when entering the command.
The syntax is:
set eg*0_protocols protocol_value or
set ei*0_protocols protocol_value or
set ew*0_protocols protocol_value
The options for protocol_value are:
mop (default)
bootp
bootp,mop

Sets the network protocol to mop (Maintenance Operations Protocol),
the setting typically used with the OpenVMS operating system.
Sets the network protocol to bootp, the setting typically used with the
Tru64 UNIX operating system.
When both are listed, the system attempts to use the mop protocol first,
regardless of which is listed first. If not successful, it then attempts the
bootp protocol.
