BOOTP
BOOTP is similar to DHCP, in that a BOOTP server dynamically assigns
an IP address to any BOOTP client that requests one. The difference is
that your system administrator must preconfigure the BOOTP server for
the library. The system administrator assigns a permanent IP address to
the library’s MAC address. When the library is booted, the BOOTP
server responds and assigns the permanent address to the library. The
IP address never expires and the BOOTP server will not reissue the IP
address to any other BOOTP client.
Management Programs
In addition to using your browser directly to manage your library, you
can also use popular management programs, such as HP OpenView, HP
Top Tools, and CA Unicenter TNG. In order to best use HP OpenView
and CA Unicenter TNG, you must download a plug-in from the HP
Customer Care website at www.hp.com/go/support. This plug-in can be
easily installed in your environment. HP Top Tools has built-in native
support for your library, and no plug-in is required.
