BOOTP BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a protocol that lets a network client configure automatically. It can automatically configure any of the following information: IP address, gateway, subnet, system name, name server, and more. It automatically assigns the necessary settings from a pool of pre-determined addresses for a certain duration of time. BOOTP is the basis for a more advanced network manager protocol, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
