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,
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print
server’s IP address. You can add this address to the
/etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:
203.66.191.12 pserver
2. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/bootptab file, similar to
the following:
hostname:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=print_server_ethernet_address:\
:ip=print_server_ip_address:
