DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses to devices, while BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) aids in booting computer systems from a network. Both facilitate IP configurations.
The Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is a computer networking protocol used in Internet Protocol networks to automatically assign an IP address to network devices from a configuration server. WikiMatrix It is therefore the protocol of choice for the initial stages of any network booting strategy like BO...
Make a bootable USB drive and save your computer Optical installation media are yesterday’s news. A bootable USB drive is not only faster and more practical than a CD-ROM, it can also do a lot more: For example, create a portable operating system with which you can use Windows as well...
A given computer must issue a series of small request messages. More im-portant, each response returns a small value (for instance, a 4-octet IP address). Because networks enforce a minimum packet size, most of the space in each packet is wasted. 展开 ...
If a router cannot function as a BOOTP/DHCP relay agent, each subnet must have either its own DHCP server or another computer that can function as a relay agent on that subnet. In cases where it is impractical or impossible to configure routers to support BOOTP/DHCP relay, you can...
