SYMPTOMS
The BOOTP process typically consists of a BOOTP client requesting a list of options and a BOOTP server responding with the values of those requested options. If an option is not requested, a value for that specific option is not returned. However, legacy BOOTP devices may have need of certain options that they cannot be configured to request.
