The print server will use the last three methods to obtain its

IP address automatically if its IP address is configured as

Auto (0.0.0.0).

6.3.1 DHCP

There are many Unix systems that support DHCP protocol, and the

procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. This

manual does not describe the DHCP server configuration on the Unix

systems. It is highly recommended that the DHCP server should be located

on the same network as the print server.

6.3.2 BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX system that

is accessible by the print server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up

the IP address of the print server. We recommend that the BOOTP server

should be located on the same subnet as the print server. If you use

Network Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild

the NIS map with the BOOTP services before doing the following BOOTP

configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your system

documentation.

To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will need to log

in the host of BOOTP server as the superuser (root). Perform the following

steps to add address entries,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print

server

’s IP address. You can add this address to the

/etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.12 pserver

2. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/bootptab file, similar to

the following:

hostname:\

:ht=1:\

:ha=print_server_ethernet_address:\

:ip=print_server_ip_address:

Lines should be indented with tabs.

Where hostname is the device name of a print server, the ht=1 tag specifies

the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the Ethernet address of

a print server, which is the Node ID located on the print server. The ha tag

1 2 ... 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 ... 85 86
