[TCP/IP]: Mandatory IP-identifying information
13.2. Mandatory IP-identifying information
13.2.1. Host Name
The host name identifies the unit in the LAN environment.
There are so many good reasons for having a host name defined
(see
page 89
) that you should consider
it mandatory, even though
everything can function well without it in a certain number of
setups.
You may use, modify, or totally replace the default host name
which will be generated by attaching the last six digits from the
MAC address to a prefix such as IM or IMA (depending on the
product and model).
See the syntactical requirements for an IP host name in
“Information
Needed Before Starting” [page 89]
.
If you create and use a host name you must, of course, have it
registered in a DNS server available to the all of the printers in
the various printing environments from which jobs are sent to
the print server.
13.2.2. Syntax for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway
Default for each of these three parameters is 0.0.0.0
Syntax: Four address bytes separated by periods.
Each address byte must be a number between 0 and 255; do
not use leading zeros. Not all combinations of values will con-
stitute a valid address. Ask your system administrator if in
doubt.
If Auto Routing (RIP) is used in your environment, you can
leave the Default Gateway set to 0.0.0.0.
13.2.3. Enable DHCP, BOOTP, RARP—or none of these
Please consult the instructions in
“IP Assignments for Initial Con-
tact” [page 88]
.
Remember that you must have a host name defined if you use
DHCP.
