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 MFP 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=MFP_Server_ethernet_address:\
:ip=MFP_Server_ip_address:

Lines should be indented with tabs.

Where hostname is the device name of a MFP Server, the ht=1 tag
specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the Ethernet
address of a MFP Server, which is the Node ID located on the MFP Server.
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 MFP Server.
For example, a MFP Server with the following configuration:
Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet address is 0000B4010101),
IP address: 203.66.191.12
The entry for this MFP Server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:

MF010101:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=0000B4010101:\
:ip=203.66.191.12:
