98 Configuring the Library Chapter 3
BOOTP
BOOTP is similar to DHCP, in that a BOOTP server dynamically assigns an IP
address to any BOOTP client that requests one. The difference is that your
system administrator must preconfigure the BOOTP server for the library. The
system administrator assigns a permanent IP address to the library’s MAC
address. When the library is booted, the BOOTP server responds and assigns
the permanent address to the library. The IP address never expires and the
BOOTP server will not reissue the IP address to any other BOOTP client.
Management Programs
In addition to using your browser directly to manage your library, you can also
use popular management programs, such as HP OpenView, HP Top Tools, and
CA Unicenter TNG. In order to best use HP OpenView and CA Unicenter
TNG, you must download a plug-in from the HP Customer Care website at
http://www.hp.com/go/support. This plug-in can be easily installed in your
environment. HP Top Tools has built-in native support for your library, and no
plug-in is required.
