Changing BOOTP attributes

From the Change BOOTP Attributes (CHGBPA) display, you can specify the AUTOSTART attribute. This attribute determines whether the BOOTP server starts automatically when TCP/IP is started by the STRTCP command, or when the STRTCPSVR SERVER(*AUTOSTART) command is issued.

To change BOOTP attributes, follow these steps:

Specify the Configure TCP/IP BOOTP (CFGTCPBP) command from the command prompt.
Select option 1 (Change BOOTP Attributes) on the Configure TCP/IP BOOTP display to view the Change BOOTP Attributes display.
You can also type CHGBPA, and then press F4.

Note: You must have *IOSYSCFG special authority to make changes to the BOOTP attributes by using the Change BOOTP Attributes (CHGBPA) command.

The following display appears.
