The -b option is used to cause the target to perform a
bootp or dhcp negotiation to get an IP address.
The -l option is used to set the IP address used by
the target device. The network mask length can also be specified
The -h option is used to set the default server
address, such as is used by the load command.
The -d option is used to set the default DNS server
address which is used for resolving symbolic network addresses. Note
that an address of 0.0.0.0 will disable DNS lookups.
