UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP
Configuring the IP Address on the NC-2 Print Server
Using BOOTP
The BOOTP daemon is a native TCP/IP option for configuring the IP
address of a non-disk network device. To communicate the IP address, use
the following procedure:
1. Turn off the print server.
2. Log in as superuser on a host that is attached on the same network
segment as the print server. Confirm the subnet mask is the one you intend
to use. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this
procedure to store the IP address in the print server.
3. Find the LAN address of the NC-2 Print Server. The address is printed on
the configuration status report each time you turn the printer on.
4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP
address and the NC-2 Print Server’s node name. See the network adminis-
trator for the IP address. For example, a NC-2 Print Server named printfast
with an IP address of 192.9.200.200 has the following entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5.
Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running.
6.
Edit the /etc/bootptab file and add the following information:
host:\
:ht = hardware type:\
:ha = ethernet address:\
:ip = IP address:\
:sm = subnet mask:\
:gw = gateway address:
Example, for an RFC 1048 system:
printfast:\
:ht = ether:\
:ha= 0040AF03AF6E:\
:ip = 192.9.200.200:\
:sm = 255.0.0.0:\
:gw =192.9.200.10:\
(If running SCO UNIX, add:)
:vm = rfc1048:
