Dhcp/Bootp; Dhcp/Bootp Parameters - Black Box Terminal Server User Manual

DHCP/BOOTP

DHCP/BOOTP
You can use DHCP/BOOTP to perform the following actions on a single or multiple Terminal
Servers on bootup:
auto-configure with minimal information; for example, only an IP address
auto-configure with basic setup information (IP address, subnet/prefix bits, etc.)
download a new version of firmware
download a full configuration file
DHCP/BOOTP is particularly useful for multiple installations: you can do all the Terminal Server's
configuration in one DHCP/BOOTP file, rather than configure each Terminal Server manually.
Another advantage of DHCP/BOOTP is that you can connect a Terminal Server to the network,
turn on its power and let autoconfiguration take place. All the configuration is carried out for you
during the DHCP/BOOTP process.
