6.3 Setup Print Server’s IP Address
The print server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized
by the network.
by the network.
You can set up the IP address on the various Unix systems using any one
of the following methods:
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).
automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).
6.3.1 DHCP
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.

6.3.2 BOOTP
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,
