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:
