BOOTP

BOOTP is used to download configuration information to the Campus-REX
from a BOOTP server. You can also configure these parameters and save
them in NVRAM so that BOOTP can be bypassed. It is recommended that the
BOOTP server be connected to the same segment as the Campus-REX
10BASE-T port.

The Campus-REX supports both local and remote loading of bootstrap
information (IP configuration only) and operational image code. Local
bootstrap configuration information is contained in NVRAM. Local image
code is contained in Flash devices for local loading of operational code.

When loading over the network is preferred, you can use BOOTP (RFC 951)
to obtain bootstrap information and image files. Booting and image download
are controlled by the use of two attributes which are Boot Mode and Image
Load Mode. Other applicable RFCs are:

RFC 1533, DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions

RFC 1542, Clarification and Extensions for the Bootstrap Protocol
(Updates 951)
