This is typically conÞgured in the unix Þle /etc/hosts or via a nameserver.

3.1.3 Using a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP Reply
A host-based DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server can provide information for the
MSS to use to conÞgure an IP address when the unit boots. See the host-based
man pages for conÞguration information. Keep in mind that many BOOTP
daemons will not reply to a BOOTP request if the download Þle name in the
conÞguration Þle does not exist. If this is the case, create a Þle in the
download path to get the BOOTP daemon to respond.
