Assigning an IP Address

You must assign an IP address prior to installing with Windows NT.

DHCP

If the UNIX host is configured as a DHCP server, the IP address is assigned
automatically.

NOTE: The Emulex printer server must always be

configured as “reserved” client by the host DHCP
administration facility. This guarantees that an IP
address assigned by DHCP will be reserved
exclusively for that printer server through its LAN
hardware address.

1) Login to the Emulex printer server.

2) Enter:

>

Server>> define server DHCP n m [temp]

n

The number of times to request DHCP information if
the server IP address is not known (default = 2).

m

The number of times to request DHCP information if
the server IP address is known (default = 1).

temp

Instructs the server to configure the acquired
information in RAM only. If this parameter is
omitted, the information is permanently written in
EAROM (default is permanent).

NOTE: If both n and m are zero, DHCP is disabled.
