# Caution

# Omitting a Forward slash (/) when the entry is continued to the next

# line, can cause the interruption of the booting process or the

# incorrect image file to download. Always include forward slashes

# where needed.

# Important Note:

# If a leading zero (0) is used in the IP address it is calculated as an

# octal number. If the leading character is "x" (upper or lower case),

# it is calculated as a hexadecimal number. For example, if an IP address

# with a base 10 number of 45 is written as .045 in the BOOTPTAB.TXT file,

# the Bootp protocol assigns .037 to the client.

# Global entries are defined that specify the parameters used by every device.

# Note that hardware type (ht) is specified first in the global entry.

# The following global entry is defined for an Ethernet device. Note that this

# is where a client’s subnet mask (sm) and default gateway (gw) are defined.
