These systems may require third-party software for TFTP support.
UNIX servers:
A BOOTP server running UNIX must be set up with the BOOTP daemon bootpd, and must be set up with the
/etc/bootptab configuration file. The configuration data in the /etc/bootptab file must be properly
entered. See the contents of the bootptab file
TFTP is used to obtain additional configuration data from a configuration file on a TFTP server. This file is
specified in the bootptab file; see the
contents of the bootptab
NetWare BOOTP servers:
For setup of NetWare BOOTP servers, refer to your NetWare documentation.

A colon (:) indicates the end of a field, and a backslash (\) indicates that the entry is continued on the next line. Spaces
are not allowed between the characters on a line. Names, such as host names, must begin with a letter and can contain
only letters, numbers, periods (for domain names only), and hyphens. The underline character (_) is not allowed. Refer

file, below.
The name of the peripheral device. Identifies an entry point to a list of parameters for
the specific peripheral device. Must be the first field in an entry. (In the example above,
nodename is picasso.)
The host name tag. This tag does not take a value but causes the BOOTP daemon to
download the host name to the print server. The host name will be printed on the
Jetdirect configuration page, or returned on an SNMP sysName request by a network
application.
The hardware type tag. For the HP Jetdirect print server, set this to ether (for
Ethernet). Must precede the ha tag.
The BOOTP report format tag (required). Set this to rfc1048.
