DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and BOOTP (Boot Protocol) are protocols which allow individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address, etc.) from network servers. The overall purpose of DHCP and BOOTP is to make it easier to administer a large network. . Pump is a combined BOOTP and DHCP client daemon, which allows your machine to retrieve configuration information from a server. You should install this package if you are on a network which uses BOOTP or DHCP. Bugs: <A HREF="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</A> Origin: Ubuntu After I rebooted the system, eth0 is down.
