6.3 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 syste m
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,
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print server’s IP address.
You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:
