Xerox 6120 Manual Do Utilizador

The Phaser 6120 printer supports the following network protocols:

„

BOOTP

„

DHCP

„

HTTP

„

IPP

„

LPD/LPR

„

SLP

„

SNMP

„

Port 9100

„

SMTP

This chapter defines each of these protocols and then explains how to print 
via IPP.

BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is an Internet protocol that enables a diskless 
workstation to discover (1) its own IP address, (2) the IP address of a BOOTP 
server on the network, and (3) a file that can be loaded into memory to boot 
the workstation. This enables the workstation to boot without requiring a hard 
or floppy disk drive. 

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for assigning 
dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a 
device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. 
In some systems, the device’s IP address can even change while it is still 
connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. 
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software 
keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage 
the task. This means that a new computer can be added to a network without 
the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address.
