13.3.2 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX system that is
accessible by the MFP Server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the
IP address of the MFP Server. We recommend that the BOOTP server should
be located on the same subnet as the MFP 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 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),
