Assigning the OkiLAN 6100e+ IP Address with BOOTP

BOOTP is an acronym for BOOTStrap Protocol. Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a unique 32-bit IP address assigned to it. TCP/IP network devices will have both an IP address and a 48 bit Ethernet/Token-Ring (network hardware) address. Ethernet addresses usually cannot be configured and are hard coded by the manufacturer of the device. BOOTP is a protocol used by devices that know their network hardware address, but do not know their IP address. When powering up on a network, a device that uses BOOTP will broadcast its network hardware address in a BOOT request packet. A BOOTP server
