Starting the BOOTP Server
Specify the following
Start TCP/IP Server
(STRTCPSVR) command with the
SERVER parameter set to *BOOTP:

command while the BOOTP server is running, you receive a diagnostic message.

Specify the following
End TCP/IP Server
(ENDTCPSVR) command with the
SERVER parameter set to *BOOTP:
ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*BOOTP)
