front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a
typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would
be:
#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -
i
Depending on the system, this entry might be called
"bootps" instead of "bootp". In order to enable
BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the "#" (if there
is no "#", then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit
the BOOTP configuration file (usually
/etc/
bootptab ) to enter the name, network type (1 for
Ethernet), Ethernet address (which can be found on the
label on the TROY XCD print server), and the IP
address, subnet mask and gateway of the TROY XCD
print server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing
this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to
your system documentation to determine how to enter
this information (many UNIX systems also have
template examples in the bootptab file that you can use
for reference). Some examples of typical
/etc/
bootptab entries include:
xcd_000107 1 00:40:17:00:01:07
192.189.207.3
and:
xcd_000107:ht=ethernet:ha=004017000107:\
ip=192.189.207.3:
Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not
respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included a
download filename in the configuration file; if this is
the case, simply create a null file on the host and
