b
bootpd(1M) bootpd(1M)
ps=ip_address_list
This tag specifies the IP address(es) of NIS+ servers available to the client (RFC2132).
rl=ip_address_list
This tag specifies the IP addresses of RFC887 Resource Location Protocol servers.
rp=root_path
This tag specifies a path name to be mounted as a root disk.
sa=tftp_server
This tag specifies the IP address of the TFTP server where the client’s bootfile resides. When
this option is enabled, bootpd uses the IP address specified in this tag for the siaddr field in
a BOOTP/DHCP packet header. Otherwise, the IP address of the BOOTP/DHCP server is
used in the siaddr field. The
sa
tag allows the BOOTP/DHCP server and the TFTP server to
be two different systems, if desired.
sm=subnet-mask
This tag specifies the client’s subnet mask. subnet-mask is specified as a single IP address.
sr=destination_ip_address gateway_ip_address ...
This tag specifies a list of static routes that the client should put in its routing cache. Each
route consists of a pair of IP addresses. The first address is the destination address, and the
second is the router. Use the gw= option to specify the default route (0.0.0.0) as it is not a
legal destination address.
ss=ip_address
This tag specifies the IP address of a swap server.
Tnnn=generic-data
This is a generic tag where nnn is an RFC1533 option field tag number. Use this option to
configure RFC1533 options not currently supported with bootpd tag names. This option
allows one to immediately take advantage of future extensions to RFC1533. The generic-data
data can be represented as either a stream of hexadecimal numbers or as a quoted string of
ASCII characters. The length of the generic data is automatically determined and inserted
into the proper fields of the RFC1541-style boot reply.
to=offset
This tag specifies the client’s time zone offset in seconds from UTC. The time offset can be
either a signed decimal integer or the keyword
auto which uses the server’s time zone offset.
Specifying the to symbol as a boolean has the same effect as specifying auto as its value.
ts=ip_address_list
This tag specifies the IP addresses of RFC868 Time Protocol servers.
yd=NIS-domain-name
Specifies the name of the client’s NIS domain.
ys=ip_address_list
Specifies the IP address(es) of NIS servers available to the client. Servers should be listed in
order of preference.
vm=magic-cookie
This tag specifies the RFC1048 vendor information magic cookie. magic-cookie can be one of
the following keywords: auto (indicating that vendor information is determined by the
client’s request), rfc1048 (which always forces an RFC1048-style reply), or cmu (which
always forces a CMU-style reply).
Vnnn=generic-data
This is a generic tag for vendor specific information where nnn is a vendor defined option field
tag number. The generic-data data can be represented as either a stream of hexadecimal
numbers or as a quoted string of ASCII characters. The length of the generic data is automati-
cally determined and inserted into the vendor specific field of the RFC1541-style boot reply.
xd=ip_address_list
This tag specifies the IP addresses of systems that are running the X Window System Display
Manager and are available to the client. Addresses should be listed in order of preference.
xf=ip_address_list
This tag specifies the IP addresses of X window System font servers available to the client.
Servers should be listed in order of preference.
