CHGBPA (Change BOOTP Attributes)

CHGBPA Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Change BOOTP Server Attributes (CHGBPA) command is used to change the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) attributes. The changes take effect the next time the BOOTP server is started either by the Start TCP/IP (STRTCP) command or by the Start TCP/IP Server (STRTCPSVR) command.

Restriction: You must have *IOSYSCFG special authority to use this command.

 

Optional Parameters

AUTOSTART
Specifies whether to automatically start the BOOTP server when TCP/IP is started by the STRTCP command. When the BOOTP server is started by the STRTCPSVR command, the AUTOSTART parameter is ignored and the BOOTP server is started regardless of the values of this parameter.

*SAME: The AUTOSTART value does not change if it was previously set. Otherwise, *NO is used.

*YES: Start the BOOTP server when the STRTCP command is called.

*NO: Do not start the BOOTP server when the STRTCP command is called. If you do not intend to use the BOOTP server, set AUTOSTART to *NO.

Example for CHGBPA

CHGBPA  AUTOSTART(*YES)

This command indicates that the next time the STRTCP command is issued to start up TCP/IP and to automatically start the TCP/IP applications, the BOOTP server will be automatically started.
