Section IV - TCP/IP
4.The bootpd daemon transmits a response to the OkiLAN 6010e with the IP address 192.168.42.55. The OkiLAN 6010e will use this IP address for all subsequent transmis- sions.
For these steps to work properly, at least one BOOTP daemon (bootpd) must be running on the BOOTP server. To test whether a BOOTP daemon is running on the BOOTP server, use the ps command with the show all process option within fifteen minutes of an at- tempted BOOTP request. Unfortunately, the ps options differ from one UNIX workstation to another. Perform a man ps at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the ps command for a particular workstation. If bootpd is not running on a workstation, type man bootpd at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the BOOTP daemon and how to start it.
Limitations
Often TCP/IP networks are divided into subnets. BOOTP does not work across subnets. When installing an OkiLAN 6010e, make sure the following criteria are met for BOOTP to work properly.
∙Both the BOOTP server and the OkiLAN 6010e are physically attached to the same subnet.
∙The IP address assigned to the OkiLAN 6010e and the IP address of the BOOTP server belong to the same subnet.
