2Configure the BOOTP server. Edit the BOOTP configuration file (normally /etc/bootptab). This file is a collection of entries for each BOOTP client served by this server.

An entry for a particular hardware address sets various IP parameters. The following is an example of a typical entry:

net_printer:\ ht=ether:\ ha=000400123ABC:\ ip=192.168.2.0:\ sm=255.255.255.128:\ gw=192.168.0.0:\ hn:

The following table provides information about the parameters.

Parameter	Description
net_printer=	Host name
ht=ether	Hardware type (Ethernet)
ha=00400123ABC	Hardware address
ip=192.168.2.0	IP address
sm=255.255.255.0	Netmask
gw=192.168.0.0	Gateway
hn:	Sends the host name to the printer
	and tells the printer to store it

3Make sure BOOTP is enabled. Check the network setup page.

4Set up the printer host name in the computer. To do so, define the printer IP name and address in the /etc/hosts file or on the name server. This address must match the IP address. You may want to use a host name that is meaningful in your environment (for example, a name that identifies the printer location).
