Setting IP parameters: RARP or BOOTP

With this method, configuration information is sent to the printer over the Ethernet or Token Ring connection via RARP or BOOTP, depending on which protocol your host supports. This is called Dynamic Address Resolution.

You store the printer’s configuration information in a configuration file such as an ethers or bootptab file on a boot server. On power-up, the printer issues RARP and BOOTP requests and receives the configuration information from the server in the RARP or BOOTP response.
