{{IPstack}}
The '''Bootstrap Protocol''' ('''BOOTP''') is a [[computer network]]ing protocol used in
[[Internet Protocol]] networks to automatically assign an [[IP address]] to network devices from a configuration server. The BOOTP was originally defined in RFC 951. When a network-connected computer [[booting|boots]]-up, its IP-stack broadcasts BOOTP network-messages requesting an IP-address assignment. A BOOTP configuration-server replies to the request by assigning an IP address from a pool of addresses, which is preconfigured by an administrator.
