6.3.1 DHCP
There are many UNIX systems that support DHCP protocol, and the procedures to configure the DHCP
server database are different. This manual does not describe the DHCP server configuration on the UNIX
systems. It is highly recommended that the DHCP server should be located on the same network as the print
server.
6.3.2 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX system that is accessible by the print server,
you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address of the print server. We recommend that the BOOTP
server should be located on the same subnet as the print 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 print 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=print_server_ethernet_address:\
:ip=print_server_ip_address:
Lines should be indented with tabs.
Where hostname is the device name of a print server, the ht=1 tag specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, the
ha= tag specifies the Ethernet address of a print server, which is the Node ID located on the print 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 print server.
For example, a print server with the following configuration:
Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet address is 0000B4010101),
IP address: 203.66.191.12
