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
