[5] = 20 BootP retries, 60 sec.
[6] = 40 BootP retries, 120 sec.
[7] = 100 BootP retries, 300
sec.

[BootPSelectiveEnable]
Enables the Selective BootP mechanism.
[1] = Enabled.
[0] = Disabled (default).
The Selective BootP mechanism (available from Boot version 1.92)
enables the device's integral BootP client to filter unsolicited
BootP/DHCP replies (accepts only BootP replies that contain the text
'AUDC' in the vendor specific information field). This option is useful in
environments where enterprise BootP/DHCP servers provide undesired
responses to the device's BootP requests.
Notes:
For this parameter to take effect, a device reset is required.
When working with DHCP (i.e., the parameter DHCPEnable is set to
1), the selective BootP feature must be disabled.
[BootPDelay]
Defines the interval between the device's startup and the first
BootP/DHCP request that is issued by the device.
[1] = 1 second (default).
[2] = 3 second.
[3] = 6 second.
[4] = 30 second.
[5] = 60 second.
Note: For this parameter to take effect, a device reset is required.
[ExtBootPReqEnable]
Determines whether the device uses the Vendor Specific Information
field in the BootP request to provide device-related initial startup
information.
[0] = Disabled (default).
[1] = Enables extended information to be sent in BootP requests. The
device uses the Vendor Specific Information field in the BootP
request to provide device-related initial startup information such as
blade type, current IP address, software version. For a full list of the
Vendor Specific Information fields, refer to the Product Reference
Manual.
The BootP/TFTP configuration utility displays this information in the
'Client Info' column.
Notes:
For this parameter to take effect, a device reset is required.
This option is not available on DHCP servers.
