6.3.2BOOTP

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:
