+.Nm bootpd
implements an Internet Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server as defined in
-RFC951, RFC1532, and RFC1533.
-.I Bootpgw
+RFC 951, RFC 1532, and RFC 1533.
+.Nm bootpgw
implements a simple BOOTP gateway which can be used to forward
-requests and responses between clients on one subnet and a
-BOOTP server (i.e.,
-.IR bootpd )
-on another subnet. While either
-.I bootpd
+requests and responses between clients on one subnet and a BOOTP server
+(i.e.,
+.Nm bootpd )
+on another subnet.
+While either
+.Nm bootpd
or
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
will forward BOOTREPLY packets, only
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
will forward BOOTREQUEST packets.
-.PP
+.Pp
One host on each network segment is normally configured to run either
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
or
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
from
-.I inetd
+.Xr inetd 8
by including one of the following lines in the file
-.IR /etc/inetd.conf :

This mode of operation is referred to as "inetd mode" and causes
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
(or
-.IR bootpgw )
-to be started only when a boot request arrives. If it does not
-receive another packet within fifteen minutes of the last one
-it received, it will exit to conserve system resources. The
-.B \-t
-option controls this timeout (see OPTIONS).

+If it does not receive another packet within fifteen minutes of the last one

+The
+.Fl t
+option controls this timeout (see
+.Sx OPTIONS ) .
+.Pp
It is also possible to run
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
(or
-.IR bootpgw )
+.Nm bootpgw )
in "stand-alone mode" (without
-.IR inetd )
+.Xr inetd 8 )
by simply invoking it from a shell like any other regular command.
Stand-alone mode is particularly useful when
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
is used with a large configuration database, where the start up
delay might otherwise prevent timely response to client requests.
(Automatic start up in stand-alone mode can be done by invoking
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
from within
-.IR /etc/rc.local ,
+.Pa /etc/rc.local ,
for example.)
Stand-alone mode is less useful for
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
which
has very little start up delay because
it does not read a configuration file.

process will wait for a BOOTP packet before exiting.
If no packets are received for

-.SH OPERATION
-.PP

+.Sh OPERATION
Both
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
and
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
operate similarly in that both listen for any packets sent to the
-.I bootps
+.Em bootps
port, and both simply forward any BOOTREPLY packets.
They differ in their handling of BOOTREQUEST packets.
-.PP
+.Pp
When
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
is started, it determines the address of a BOOTP server
-whose name is provided as a command line parameter. When
-.I bootpgw
+whose name is provided as a command line parameter.
+When
+.Nm bootpgw
receives a BOOTREQUEST packet, it sets the "gateway address"
and "hop count" fields in the packet and forwards the packet
to the BOOTP server at the address determined earlier.
Requests are forwarded only if they indicate that
the client has been waiting for at least three seconds.
-.PP
+.Pp
When
-.I bootpd
-is started it reads a configuration file, (normally
-.IR /etc/bootptab )
-that initializes the internal database of known clients and client
-options. This internal database is reloaded
-from the configuration file when
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
+is started it reads a configuration file (normally
+.Pa /etc/bootptab )
+that initializes the internal database of known clients and client options.
+This internal database is reloaded from the configuration file when
+.Nm bootpd
receives a hangup signal (SIGHUP) or when it discovers that the
configuration file has changed.
-.PP

When
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
receives a BOOTREQUEST packet, it
.\" checks the modification time of the

+.\" configuration file and reloads the database if necessary.

looks for a database entry matching the client request.
If the client is known,
-.I bootpd

composes a BOOTREPLY packet using the database entry found above,
and sends the reply to the client (possibly using a gateway).
If the client is unknown, the request is discarded
-(with a notice if debug > 0).
-.PP
+(with a notice if debug \*[Gt] 0).
+.Pp

The

the Internet Bootstrap Protocol server.
Its format is similar to that of

where
-.I hostname

-.I tg

-only if an entry with the client's Ethernet or IP address exists
-in the
-.I booptab
-file. Dummy entries have an invalid hostname
-(one with a "." as the first character) and are used to provide
-default values used by other entries via the
-.B tc=.dummy-entry
-mechanism. Most tags must be followed by an equal sign
-and a value as above. Some may also appear in a boolean form with no

All IP addresses are specified in standard Internet "dot" notation

(octal numbers begin with 0, hexadecimal numbers begin with '0x' or '0X').
Any IP addresses may alternatively be specified as a hostname, causing

(Dummy entries use an invalid host name to avoid automatic IP lookup.)
-.PP

For example, if the real absolute path to your BOOTP client bootfile is
-/tftpboot/bootfiles/bootimage, and
-.IR tftpd
-uses /tftpboot as its "secure" directory, then specify the following in
-.IR bootptab :

The
-.B sa
+.Ar sa
tag may be used to specify the IP address of the particular TFTP server
-you wish the client to use. In the absence of this tag,

The time offset
-.B to
+.Ar to
may be either a signed decimal integer specifying the client's
time zone offset in seconds from UTC, or the keyword
-.B auto
-which uses the server's time zone offset. Specifying the
-.B to
+.Ar auto
+which uses the server's time zone offset.
+Specifying the
+.Ar to
symbol as a boolean has the same effect as specifying
-.B auto
+.Ar auto
as its value.

The bootfile size
-.B bs
+.Ar bs
may be either a decimal, octal, or hexadecimal integer specifying the size of
the bootfile in 512-octet blocks, or the keyword
-.B auto
+.Ar auto
which causes the server to automatically calculate the bootfile size at each
-request. As with the time offset, specifying the

+request.
+As with the time offset, specifying the

symbol as a boolean has the same effect as specifying

The vendor magic cookie selector (the
-.B vm
+.Ar vm
tag) may take one of the following keywords:
-.B auto
+.Ar auto
(indicating that vendor information is determined by the client's request),
-.B rfc1048
+.Ar rfc1048
or
-.B rfc1084
-(which always forces an RFC1084-style reply), or

+.Ar cmu
(which always forces a CMU-style reply).
-.PP

The
-.B hn
-tag is strictly a boolean tag; it does not take the usual equals-sign and
-value. Its presence indicates that the hostname should be sent to RFC1084
-clients.
-.I Bootpd
+.Ar hn
+tag is strictly a boolean tag; it does not take the usual equals sign and
+value.
+Its presence indicates that the hostname should be sent to RFC 1084 clients.
+.Xr bootpd 8
attempts to send the entire hostname as it is specified in the configuration
file; if this will not fit into the reply packet, the name is shortened to
just the host field (up to the first period, if present) and then tried.
In no case is an arbitrarily truncated hostname sent (if nothing reasonable
will fit, nothing is sent).
-.PP
+.Pp
Often, many host entries share common values for certain tags (such as name
-servers, etc.). Rather than repeatedly specifying these tags, a full
-specification can be listed for one host entry and shared by others via the
-.B tc
+servers, etc.).
+Rather than repeatedly specifying these tags, a full specification can be
+listed for one host entry and shared by others via the

Often, the template entry is a dummy host which doesn't actually exist and

+This feature is similar to the

feature of
-.IR termcap (5)
-for similar terminals. Note that

+Note that
+.Xr bootpd 8
allows the
-.B tc
+.Ar tc
tag symbol to appear anywhere in the host entry, unlike
-.I termcap
-which requires it to be the last tag. Information explicitly specified for a
-host always overrides information implied by a
-.B tc
-tag symbol, regardless of its location within the entry. The

tag may be the hostname or IP address of any host entry
previously listed in the configuration file.
-.PP

Sometimes it is necessary to delete a specific tag after it has been inferred
via
-.BR tc .

This can be done using the construction
-.IB tag @
+.Ar tag @
which removes the effect of
-.I tag

as in
-.IR termcap (5).

For example, to completely undo an IEN-116 name server specification, use

a tag is eligible to be set again through the

Blank lines and lines beginning with "#" are ignored in the configuration
-file. Host entries are separated from one another by newlines; a single host
+file.
+Host entries are separated from one another by newlines; a single host
entry may be extended over multiple lines if the lines end with a backslash
-(\\). It is also acceptable for lines to be longer than 80 characters. Tags
