BOOTP Service
The bootpd Configuration File
• Blank lines and lines that begin with the pound sign (#) are ignored.
A relay entry can contain relay parameters for an individual system or
for a group of systems. If a BOOTP client does not have an individual
entry in the bootpd configuration file, bootpd searches the group relay
entries and uses the first group relay entry that matches the BOOTP
client.
Sample bootpd Configuration Files
The two following examples show sample bootpd configuration files.
The first examle shows the configuration for a simple network without
gateways or subnets.
#
#
# The first entry is the template for options common to all of the printers.
#
#global.defaults:\\
# hn:\\
# ht=ether:\\
# vm=rfc1048:\\
#
# Now the actual entries for the individual printers are listed.
#
#printer1:\\
# tc=global.defaults:\\
# ha=08000903212F:\\
# ip=10.13.193.72
#
#printer2:\\
# tc=global.defaults:\\
# ha=0800090324AC:\\
# ip=10.13.193.73

The second example shows the configuration for a network with
gateways and subnets.
