introduction
The information that is held in each computer attached
to a TCP/IP internet:
 Its IP address
 Its subnet mask
 The IP address of a router
 The IP address of a name server
 The above information is usually stored in a
configuration file and accessed by the computer during the
bootstrap process
 In the case of a diskless computer, the operating system
and networking can be stored in ROM. But the above
information cannot be stored in ROM.
BOOTP
 BOOTP(Bootstrap Protocol) is client/server protocol
designed to provide the information for a diskless computer
or a computer that is booted for the first time
 RARP provides only the IP address and not the other
information
 If we use BOOTP, we do not need RARP.
 BOOTP is static.When a client workstation asks for the
above info, it is retrieved from a fixed table. Every time the
client asks for the info, it gets the same results.

BOOTP
 UDP Ports
 BOOTP is the client’s use of the well-known port 68
 if two hosts with same well-known port 68 use BOOTP at the same
time in case of broadcasting the reply, both hosts receive the
message. In this case, transaction ID is used
 Using TFTP
 If a client needs more information for booting, the client can use the
pathname of a file sent by server which the client can find complete
booting information.
 The client can then use a TFTP message to get the rest of the
needed information.

BOOTP places its packet inside a UDP packet (note that BOOTP
is an application layer program).
Operation
Steps involved in use of
the BOOTP protocol
1) BOOTP server uses UDP port 67
and waiting for a client
2) The client sends a BOOTP request
message to the server. The client uses
(0s )as the source address and all( 1s)
as the destination address.
3) The server replies to the client with
Either a broadcast or a unicast message
using UDP destination port 68.

Figure 2 Client and server on two different networks
When client and server are on different networks, we need a
relay agent, because client does not know IP address of
server,. Relay agent knows the IP addr of the server.

Bootp Format
• Operation code : request(1) or reply (0)
• Transaction ID : set by the client and used to match a reply
with the request
• Number of seconds : indicating the number of seconds
elapsed since the time the client started to boot
• Your IP address : client address filled by server (in the
client message)
• Server IP address : in a reply message
• Gateway IP address : IP address of a router in a reply
message.
9
Bootp Format
• Server name : the domain name of the server in a reply
packet
• Boot filename : the full pathname of the boot in a reply
packet (128-byte)
• Options : used in a reply message (64-byte)
carrying either additional information (such as the
network mask or default router address) or some
specific information
in case of magic cookie, options have following options.
