NET.CFG Options Reference
Protocol TCPIP Option
Additional Support
Use these parameters and values to configure your client workstation’s boot process and path to client workstation configuration files, as discussed on the following pages:
Parameters and Values
NO_BOOTP
PATH TCP_CFG [[ drive: ]path [ ; ... ]]
NO_BOOTP
Directs your client workstation to bypass any network BOOTP (a standard protocol that provides TCP/IP configuration information) server and uses Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) to identify a client workstation’s IP address.
If your network has a BOOTP server that is configured to supply your client workstation with its IP address, router address, and subnetwork mask, you don’t need to configure this parameter in your NET.CFG file. See Chapter 2, “Using a BOOTP Server,” in the TCP/IP Transport for DOS Configuration Guide for more information.
If you want to bypass a BOOTP server, specify values for the
IP_ADDRESS, IP_ROUTER, and IP_NETMASK parameters in your NET.CFG file.
