CHAPTER 12 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION
12-6
Using DHCP to Configure the IP address
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated
mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP Server in your network
(typically a Unix, Windows NT/2000 or Novell Netware network) the print server
will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name
with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you
must set the BOOT METHOD to static, this will prevent the print server from trying
to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD,
use the print front panel (for those printers that have a LCD panel, TELNET (using
the SET IP METHOD command), Web browser or by using the BRAdmin
application.
