:sm = subnet mask:\
:gw = gateway address:
For example, for an RFC 1048 system:
printfast:\
:ht = ether:\
:ha = 0040AF03AF6E:\
:ip = 192.9.200.200:\
:sm = 255.0.0.0:\
:gw = 192.9.200.10:\
If running with a more recent BOOTP implementation, such as with SCO UNIX, add:
:vm = rfc1048:
Note: The :ht = ether command should always be used.
The same information uses the following format on an RFC 951 "RFC 951" system:
Host htype Haddr iaddr bootfile
Printfast 1 00:40:af:03:af:6e 192.9.200.200 defaultboot
7. Start the BOOTP daemon by typing:
bootpd -s
8. Check the printer to verify that the Network Interface Board is connected to the network.
Turn on the printer.
9. Wait until the printer powers up and finishes initializing to allow enough time for the IP
address to become known and to be saved in non-volatile memory. The Network
Interface Board should reinitialize itself.
10. After the Network Interface Board has reinitialize, send a ping command to verify that
the print server obtained its IP address. For example:
ping 192.9.200.200
If the print server has the address, the result is a confirmation message:
192.9.200.200 is alive
11. Remove, or comment out, your changes to the /etc/BOOTP tab file.
12. Stop the BOOTP daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.
7.4.1.2 Using rarp
The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (rarp) allows network devices to query a server for
their IP addresses on start-up. For this procedure, there needs to be a workstation with a
rarp server. To store the IP address, use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the printer.
