IP Addressing

Setting the IP Address using DHCP

Note:

Follow the instructions below to download the IP address using DHCP:

1.Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain the following parameters:

•range of IP addresses

•subnet mask

•default router IP address

•WINS server IP address(es) or DDNS server IP address(es)

•lease duration

2.Activate the scope. The print server automatically downloads the DHCP parameters. If you are using WINS or DNS, you should include at least one WINS or DNS server IP address in the DHCP scope. Immediately after the IP

address has been received, the print server registers its host name and IP address on the WINS alternatively DNS server. Refer to “Registering and Resolving Host Names” on page 127 for more information. The 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 DHCP scope. The config file is downloaded immediately after the print server receives its IP address.

3.You have now successfully set the IP address of your print server.

You have to restart the print server to download the IP address.
