BOOTP

BOOTP is used to download configuration information to the Campus-REX from a BOOTP server. You can also configure these parameters and save them in NVRAM so that BOOTP can be bypassed. It is recommended that the BOOTP server be connected to the same segment as the Campus-REX 10BASE-T port.

The Campus-REX supports both local and remote loading of bootstrap information (IP configuration only) and operational image code. Local bootstrap configuration information is contained in NVRAM. Local image code is contained in Flash devices for local loading of operational code.

When loading over the network is preferred, you can use BOOTP (RFC 951) to obtain bootstrap information and image files. Booting and image download are controlled by the use of two attributes which are Boot Mode and Image Load Mode. Other applicable RFCs are:

•RFC 1533, DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions

•RFC 1542, Clarification and Extensions for the Bootstrap Protocol (Updates 951)
