Using BOOTP

in UNIX/Linux

Below is an example of how to set the IP address of the Axis Network

Print Server using BOOTP:

1. Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically performed

by editing the file:

/etc/bootptab

Example:

2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases, as required

by your system.

3. If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is typically

performed using the

bootpd

command.

4. Restart the Axis Network Print Server to download the IP address, default

router address, and subnet mask. The Axis Network Print Server can
automatically download a customized config file from a TFTP server. Just
add the name of the config file and the TFTP server’s IP address to your boot
table. The config file is downloaded immediately after the Axis Network
Print Server receives its IP address.

5. You have now successfully set the IP address of the Axis Network Print

Server. Proceed to

“Configuring your Print Server” on page 26.
