Using BOOTP

4. Try to ping the Ethernet Interface IP address from a local Unix
station to see if it can be seen on your network.
NOTE: You will only be able to communicate with the Ethernet
Interface from a network station on the same subnet as the
print server. The Ethernet Interface needs to be told about
a default router/gateway so any packets that come in from
a different subnet can be returned via this gateway. Please
see “Communicating Across Routers” on page 148 to set
this up.
Using BOOTP
BOOTP allows you to dynamically assign an IP address to the
Ethernet Interface upon bootup. In addition, the BOOTP server can
provide additional details like a default router/gateway address. To
configure the Ethernet Interface with its TCP/IP settings using
BOOTP:
1. On your BOOTP server, make an entry in the /etc/bootptab file
for the Ethernet Interface.
