bootp

Description

Sets the BOOTP options that are returned by the DHCPv4 server for the current pool. BOOTP provides a way to distribute an IP address and boot image file to client stations. The DHCPv4 server returns the IP address and the location of the boot image file, which must be stored on an external TFTP server.

The no form of this command disables support for BOOTP.
