BootP and TFTP Parameters
The BootP parameters are special ‘Hidden’ parameters. Once defined and saved in the flash memory, they
are used even if they don't appear in the
ini file.
This parameter is used to :
This parameter only takes effect from the next reset of the gateway.
BootPRetries
Set the number of BootP requests
the gateway sends during start-up.
The gateway stops sending BootP
requests when either BootP reply is
received or number of retries is
reached.
1 = 1 BootP retry, 1 second.
2 = 2 BootP retries, 3 second.
3 = 3 BootP retries, 6 second
(default).
4 = 10 BootP retries, 30 second.
5 = 20 BootP retries, 60 second.
6 = 40 BootP retries, 120 second.
7 = 100 BootP retries, 300 second.
15 = BootP retries indefinitely. Set the number of DHCP packets the
gateway sends.
After all packets were sent, if there's
still no reply, the gateway loads from
flash.
1 = 4 DHCP packets
2 = 5 DHCP packets
3 = 6 DHCP packets (default)
4 = 7 DHCP packets
5 = 8 DHCP packets
6 = 9 DHCP packets
7 = 10 DHCP packets
15 = 18 DHCP packets
BootPSelectiveEnable Enables the Selective BootP mechanism.
1 = Enabled.
0 = Disabled (default).
The Selective BootP mechanism (available from Boot version 1.92) enables
the gateway’s integral BootP client to filter unsolicited BootP/DHCP replies
(accepts only BootP replies that contain the text ‘AUDC’ in the vendor
specific information field). This option is useful in environments where
enterprise BootP/DHCP servers provide undesired responses to the
gateway’s BootP requests.
When working with DHCP (DHCPEnable = 1) the selective BootP
feature must be disabled.
BootPDelay The interval between the device’s startup and the first BootP/DHCP request
that is issued by the device.
1 = 1 second (default).
2 = 3 second.
3 = 6 second.
4 = 30 second.
5 = 60 second.
This parameter only takes effect from the next reset of the device.
