Speci®es the IP address of the interface or device over which the device can boot or dump. When you enter the add address command, you must supply or accept the default value of the following information:

vMultiple boot entries can use the same IP address (interface).

vYou must enter this command if you are using the add boot-entry, add dump-entryand load remote commands.
