7.2.1 DHCP

Many UNIX systems support the DHCP protocol, and the procedures to configure the DHCP server database vary. This manual does not describe the DHCP server configuration on the UNIX systems. Locate the DHCP server on the same network as the print server.

7.2.2 BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX system that’s accessible by the print server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the print server’s IP address. Locate the BOOTP server on the same subnet as the print server. (Call Tech Support for instructions on how to do this.) 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, refer to your system documentation.

To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, log into the BOOTP server’s host as the superuser (root). Perform these steps to add address entries.

1. 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:

The hostname is the print server’s device name, the ht =1 tag specifies the Ethernet hardware type, and the ha = tag specifies the print server’s Ethernet address, which is the print server’s Node ID. The ha tag must be preceded by the ht tag. The ip = tag should correspond to the IP address you want to assign to the print server.
