your customer’s company. The customer network administrator assigns IP address numbers within this set to each host and workstation on the network.
Subnets: A “YES” answer to this query indicates that your customer’s network is divided into segments or “subnets.” In this instance the following data element, subnet mask, must also be provided.
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask is a decimal or hexadecimal group of four fields, each separated by a decimal point that indicates how much of the IP Address is used with the Network number to create subnets. The following is an example of a subnet mask in its decimal and hexadecimal form.
255.255.0.0 = 0xff.0xff.0x0.0x0
The subnet mask is derived by the network administrator according to how many subnets are needed. The subnet mask is the same for all hosts that exist on a given network. Your customer’s network administrator can provide this information.
Ipv6: Internet protocol version 6. FreeFlow Print Server is not using this version of the Internet protocol at this time. Do not select this option.
Default Router lP address: The default router IP address is a unique 4 byte, 32 bit numeric value, for example, 13.252.12.198 that identifies the machine that is acting as the main router. The router maintains tables of addresses of many networks in order to forward data packets between these networks. During install, the service representative creates a default router file on the print server, if one does not already exist, and this number is added to a line in the new file. Your customer’s network administrator should provide this number.
NOTE: If another machine is not identified as the default router, the print server will automatically take over the main router function. This may noticeably slow down processing on the network.
Kerberos Security: Kerberos security is a network authentication protocol that is provided with the Solaris environment. FreeFlow Print Server does not currently support this protocol.
Name Service: DNS, NIS, NIS+, and LDAP are network information services that hold user information. None indicates that the user information is held locally. Additional information for each of these services should be entered in the appropriate table in
NOTE: In order to load and enable Remote Services, DNS must be the Name Service type.
