Start-Up Resources
Several network resources are either required or recommended for starting up the
terminal initially in a network-boot environment. The resources in this category use
the following 6 network protocols:
A brief description of the resources and any special configuration requirements for
each protocol are provided in this chapter. Some resources (such as NFS) may
also be described in other chapters of this document.

BOOTP
BOOTP is a protocol used in a network-boot environment for providing all
information that the terminal needs to start with minimal functionality. Either
BOOTP or DHCP (described below) is required in a network-boot environment.
BOOTP is not used in local-boot environments.

Since DHCP has mostly superseded BOOTP, it is
recommended that DHCP be used instead of BOOTP
for network boot.
