6.3Setup Print Server’s IP Address

The print server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by the network.

You can set up the IP address on the various Unix systems using any one of the following methods:

1.DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

2.BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)

The print server will use the last three methods to obtain its IP address automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).

6.3.1DHCP

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.

6.3.2BOOTP

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:

203.66.191.12pserver
