Below is an example of how to set the IP address of the print server using 

BOOTP:

Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically performed 

by editing the file: 

/etc/bootptab

 

1. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as required 

by your system.

2. If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is typically 

performed using the 

bootpd

 command. 

3. Restart the print server to download the IP address, default router address, 

and subnet mask. The print server can automatically download a customized 
config file from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the 
TFTP server’s IP address to your boot table. The 

config file is downloaded 

immediately after the print server receives its IP address.

4. You have now successfully set the IP address of the print server. Proceed to 

“Making Network Printers available for printing on your PC” on page 21.

Auto-IP sets the IP address automatically in the absence of a DHCP server 

in Windows Me, 2000 and XP. If you have a DHCP server running on 

your network, the print server will receive an IP address immediately after 

you have connected it to the network. In the absence of a DHCP server, 

your print server will automatically be assigned an IP address through 

integrated Auto-IP. The Auto-IP address structure is: 169.254.xxx.xxx.

The Auto-IP function will only work when DHCP is enabled in your print 

server. This function is enabled automatically upon installation of a brand 

new print server.

The easiest way to make sure DHCP and Auto-IP are enabled is to reset 

for instruction on how to do this.

If you perform a Factory Default on the print server and you do not have 

a DHCP server on your network, Auto-IP will automatically set the IP 

address of the print server. It is highly recommended that you change the 

Auto-IP address to a static IP address.
