BOOTP (Boot Protocol) may be used to boot remote computers over a network.
All major Operating Systems, such as Mac OS X, IBM AIX, Solaris and HP, (excepting Windows) support BOOTP. The concept allows a 'diskless' system to avoid installing (and maintaining) the software on every desktop. The downside is network workload takes a big hit, even to paging over the network. This then requires more BOOTP servers and fewer systems on each subnet.

Advantage of dhcp over bootp?
1. DHCP was designed to replace the older BOOTP 2. BOOTP can only provide an IP to a computer while it is booting while DHCP can provide an IP when the OS is already loaded 3. DHCP is primarily used to seamlessly provide IP addresses to computers while BOOTP is used to configure and boot diskless computers or thin clients 4. BOOTP has a 30 day lease on the IP address as a default while DHCP only sets 8 as a default 5. DHCP can automatically rebind or renew their leases while BOOTP requires a system restart
How does DHCP allow devices to communicate?
They use DHCP to assign IP Addresses to Devices such as Windows XP, Networking flashcards, OIt DHCP and BootP services, and connecting routers. The definition for DHCP is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
The most commonly used internet protocol is?
The commonly used protocols are the TCP/IP protocol suite. This is a set of protocols that work together, not a single protocol.
What protocol does PPP use to identify the Network layer protocol?
Network Control Protocol is uses to identify the Network layer protocol used in the packet
What has a set of rules that defines how pages transfer on the Internet?
A set of rules used for transferring data over the Internet is called a "protocol".Hypertext transfer protocol, HTTP.
How is it different than bootp or rarp?
BOOTP is the booting protocol. RARP is the Reverse address resolution protocol.
DHCP is based heavily on which protocol?
BOOTP
Which protocol is used to set the IP address?
The older protocol for this purpose was BOOTP, but modern addressing LAN schemes today will use DHCP.
In most cases BOOTP has been surpassed by the more sophisticated IP addressing utility?
In many industrial applications, DHCP is not used because it is desired for devices to have the same IP address all the time, whereas in an office application it doesn't really matter if you get a different IP address from the network every time. Some industrial Ethernet devices, like I/O for EtherNet/IP, are BootP enabled in their default out-of-box settings. Thus, in the industrial world, BootP is still used and widely accepted as a quick and simple way to give devices an IP address. Phoenix Contact has a simple, freeware BootP server that can be used for this purpose which can be downloaded at the link below.
What is the purpose of bootp?
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a network protocol used for booting diskless workstations and devices over a network. Its primary purpose is to enable these devices to obtain an IP address, download the necessary software or configuration files, and connect to the network without requiring local storage. BOOTP operates by allowing clients to request network configuration information from a BOOTP server, which provides an IP address and other parameters essential for network communication. Although largely replaced by DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), BOOTP laid the groundwork for more advanced network management solutions.
What port does BOOTPS use?
The BOOTP protocol uses multiple protocols, starting with port 67.
22 what is the difference between bootp and rarp?
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol, obsoleted by BootP and DHCP, allows a computer to obtain an IP address after it has obtained an ethernet address. Bootstrap Protocol allows a computer to obtain an IP address when the operating system is starting up.
What protocols are used in DakNet?
bootp
Does BOOTP support subnetting?
Yes and No - BOOTP is used in situations where the device needs an IP address and can be matched by its MAC address. Therefore, a client receives an IP address that was matched by the MAC address. That IP address may be part of a subnet, or it may not be. The protocol itself doesn't care if there are subnets or not. It gives out an IP address, which may be subnetted. See the related link for an example of a BOOTP entry.

What roles do DHCP and DNS play?
DHCP is a host configuration protocol and is dynamic . DHCP is short for Dynamic host configuration protocol and is backward compatible with earlier protocols like BOOTp . DNS is domain name system that maps name to an IP address.
What is the BOOTP protocol used for where might you find it in Windows network?
What is BootP?BOOTP, short for Bootstrap Protocol, is a protocol used to allow an Ethernet network device to obtain an IP Address over the network.A device that wants to obtain an IP address broadcasts a BootP request that identifies the device by it's MAC address, an identifying six octet number ( ex: 00:A0:45:08:CD:8D) that is uniquely assigned to a device by its manufacturer. A BootP server on the network, sees the request and sends a BootP reply containing a desired IP address (ex: 192.168.1.10) to the device, thereby making it now become accessible to higher level network communications using that IP address.For Industrial Ethernet, MAC addresses serve as the basis of networking in order to establishing communication and direct data traffic. This level of communications is referred to as "layer 2" in the OSI model. IP addresses are assigned to devices (and switches) to support the "higher layer" protocols that are used produce complex, functioning networks. After being assigned an IP address, a managed switch can now be accessed, configured and monitored for remote diagnostics via a standard Web-browser. In addition, the switch will now respond to standard networking diagnostic tests such as "pinging". A switch without an IP address cannot provide this very simple, but powerful network diagnostic capability.To avoid potential duplicate IP address confusion, Phoenix Contact managed switches ship without an IP address. Assigning an IP address via BootP is quick and easy with Phoenix Contact's freeware IPAssign tool.For more information about Industrial Ethernet products (including download of the freeware tool) see link below.BootP is also a means to boot a "diskless client" system.
