Changing the Configuration

4-9

If you change the Boot Protocol parameter from TFTP to SLP and back to TFTP, check the Change IP/TFTP Parameters menu’s Address Discovery Protocol field. Changing from TFTP to SLP and back to TFTP results in Address Discovery Protocol reverting from your configured setting to its default setting (BOOTP then RARP).

Using TFTP

Because TFTP is a file transfer protocol, it must work in conjunction with a boot protocol to perform the boot procedure. When you specify TFTP as the boot protocol, you must configure several additional parameters. These parameters include Address Discovery Protocol, to specify the boot protocol, and others to specify IP addressing information.

To specify TFTP parameters:

1 Type T for TFTP from the Boot protocol submenu.

The Change Parameters display reappears, with a new option, B, for IP/TFTP parameters:
