    This information includes entries for each virtual printer and physical device known to the system. An AIX virtual printer is simply a high level software view of a data stream, queue, and device that controls how a given job will be processed. A different virtual printer should be defined for each data stream that a real printer supports.

    8.2 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a mechanism for delivering IP configuration parameters, including IP address, subnet mask and default gateway, to devices (hosts) on an IP network. A DHCP server manages the pool of available IP addresses and grants device requests for an IP address.
