BOOTP |
Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia | 0.02 sec. |
BOOTP(BOOTstrap Protocol) A TCP/IP protocol used by a diskless workstation or network computer (NC) to obtain its IP address and other network information such as server address and default gateway. Upon startup, the client station sends out a BOOTP request in a UDP packet to the BOOTP server, which returns the required information. Unlike RARP, which uses only the layer 2 (Ethernet) frame for transport, the BOOTP request and response use an IP broadcast function that can send messages before a specific IP address is known. See RARP.

By incorporating CIP, a media-independent protocol that can coexist with any other Internet protocol running on top of the standard TCP/UDP Transport Layer (such as FTP, HTTP, SMTP, BOOTP, SNMP, DHCP and OPC), EtherNet/IP provides interoperability among manufacturing enterprise networks and enables Internet and enterprise connectivity anywhere, at any time. The new features are in addition to those protocols already supported by the Nucleus NET software including TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, IGMP, ARP, RARP, DNS resolver, DHCP client, BOOTP client, RIP/RIP II and TFTP client. |
