### Description

```asn1
bootpServerName OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..64))
ACCESS read-write
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"An optional string signifying the name of the server that should respond to the
BOOTP request. If bcastServerName contains a string, only the server that matches
that name/address will answer the request. If bcastServerName is an empty string,
then any BOOTP server that received the request may answer.
This entry is only required for the first entry of the bootp table since subsequent
bootp table entries are only used to perform FTP operations. Any subsequent FTP
transactions will be performed to the 'server IP' address that was found in the
bootp response."
