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 else can I help you with?
How is it different than bootp or rarp?
BOOTP is the booting protocol. RARP is the Reverse address resolution protocol.
Breaking a network into smaller parts is called?
segmentation
What is the bootp protocol used for?
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.
What protocols are used in DakNet?
bootp
The process of dividing a larger network into smaller ones is called?
Subnetting Bodry
DHCP is based heavily on which protocol?
BOOTP
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 do devices interpret subnetting information if subnetting is used on a LAN?
Devices interpret subnetting information on a LAN by determining where the traffic originated and routing it to the appropriate area. By creating subnets, it is possible to have segregated areas of a network.
What sophisticated IP addressing utility has surpasses BOOTP?
DHCP
You might never want to use subnetting if?
There is no need to use subnetting if you have no wish to further divide up your network into smaller, logical networks.
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 are the disadvantage of subnetting?
Loose of ip address
