those devices is to use DHCP. Do the following to prevent the BOOTP server
from running:</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>To prevent BOOTP server jobs from starting automatically when you
start TCP/IP, type the following: <samp class="codeph">CHGBPA AUTOSTART(*NO)</samp></span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <ol type="a"><li>AUTOSTART(*NO) is the default value.</li>
<li>“Control which TCP/IP servers start automatically” on page 120 provides

</ol>

<li class="stepexpand"><span>To prevent someone from associating a user application, such as
a socket application, with the port that the system normally uses for BOOTP,
do the following:</span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Because DHCP and BOOTP use the same port
number, this will also inhibit the port that is used by DHCP. Do not restrict
the port if you want to use DHCP.</div>
<ol type="a"><li><span>Type GO CFGTCP to display the Configure TCP/IP menu.</span></li>
<li><span>Select option 4 (Work with TCP/IP port restrictions).</span></li>

1 (Add).</span></li>
<li><span>For the lower port range, specify 67.</span></li>
<li><span>For the upper port range, specify *ONLY.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <ol type="a"><li>The port restriction takes effect the next time that you start TCP/IP.
If TCP/IP is active when you set the port restrictions, you should end TCP/IP
and start it again.</li>

protected on your system. A protected user profile is a user profile that
does not own programs that adopt authority and does not have a password that
is known by other users. By restricting the port to a specific user, you automatically
exclude all other users.</span></li>
