Using DHCP, ARP,
RARP and BOOTP
Use DHCP, ARP, RARP and BOOTP as an alternative to setting the IP
address from the control panel or keyboard. Follow the appropriate
instructions for the preferred method below.
Important!
Before you begin:
Using DHCP
Follow these steps to use the DHCP method:
1.
Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon.
For Windows NT servers, refer to the
“Windows NT Resource Kit”
on how to do this. The entries made in this scope typically include
the following parameters:
• Range of IP addresses
• Subnet mask
• Default router IP address
• Lease duration
• Mail server IP address
• DNS server IP address
• Domain name
• NTP server IP address
2.
Activate the scope.
Notes:
Do not use the IP address used in any of the following examples.
•
Power -
Make sure the Document Server is powered on and attached to the network.
•
System Privileges -
You will need
administrator
privileges on the Windows NT server
or
root
privileges on the UNIX system.
•
Ethernet Address
- Depending on the method you are using, you will need to know
the Ethernet address of your Document Server. The Ethernet address is based upon the
Document Server serial number. You will find the number on the underside label.
•
IP Address
- Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator.
• DHCP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator using the System
Settings page.
• The IP address and all the other settings will be downloaded automatically. You do
not need to restart the Document Server.
