BOOTstrap Protocol

(boot-P)

A TCP/IP protocol that allows a host to configure itself dynamically at boot time. This protocol provides 3 services:

  • IP address assignment
  • Detection of the IP address for a serving machine
  • The name of a file to be loaded and executed by the client machine

BOOTP would allow a diskless workstation to determine its IP address from a central server (as one example). DHCP may replace BOOTP.
