Setup Print Server's IP Address

The print server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized
by the network.
You can set up the IP address on the various Unix systems using any one
of the following methods:
1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)
The print server will use the last three methods to obtain its IP address
automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).
6.3.1

DHCP

There are many Unix systems that support DHCP protocol, and the
procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. This
manual does not describe the DHCP server configuration on the Unix
systems. It is highly recommended that the DHCP server should be located
on the same network as the print server.
6.3.2

BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX
system that is accessible by the print server, you can use the BOOTP
protocol to set up the IP address of the print server. We recommend that
the BOOTP server should be located on the same subnet as the print server.
If you use Network Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may
need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP services before doing the
following BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to
your system documentation.
To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will
need to log in the host of BOOTP server as the superuser (root). Perform
the following steps to add address entries,
