Note: Once the Network Print Server has been
assigned an IP address, the Network Print Server
configuration utility (which is run by accessing the
Network Print Server using telnet) or OkiNet for
TCP/IP allows you to change and/or make the IP
address permanent. This means that a BOOTP
server needs to be available only during installa-
tion of the Network Print Server.
Address Formats
Network hardware addresses are 48-bits and are
expressed in 6 bytes (hexadecimal format) usually
separated by colons. Each hexadecimal byte has a
range from 00 to FF.
A name can be arbitrarily assigned to any device on a
network. The following examples use the name
OKIPRINTER. Remember that this name is arbitrary;
a customer can assign any name they wish.
/etc/bootptab:
Example:
OKIPRINTER:\
ht=ether:\
ha=0040681750A4:\
ip=192.168.42.55
The ht signifies hardware type. For the Network Print
Server, it will always be ether for an Ethernet device
and token for a Token-Ring device. The ha signifies
the network hardware address. For BOOTP, the net-
work hardware address must be represented without
TCP/IP

The "/etc/bootptab" file has
entries where each entry
maps a network hardware
address to an IP address.
