UNIX Configuration 7-4
6.
Edit the /etc/BOOTPtab file and add the following information:
nic_host:\
:ht = hardware type:\
:ha = ethernet address:\
:ip = IP address:\
:sm = subnet mask:\
:gw = gateway address:
For 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 with a more recent BOOTP implementation, such as with SCO UNIX, add:
:vm = rfc1048:
The same information uses the following format on an RFC 951 system:
7.
Start the BOOTP daemon by typing:
bootpd -s
8.
Check the printer to verify that the EcoLAN 2000E is connected to the network.
Turn on the printer.
9.
Wait 1 or 2 minutes to allow enough time for the IP address to become known and
to be saved in non-volatile memory. Press the Status key and verify the new IP
address information on the EcoLAN 2000E Network Status page or send a ping
command to verify that the 2000E obtained its IP address. For example:
ping 192.9.200.200
If the 2000E has the address, the result is a confirmation message:
192.9.200.200 is alive
10. Remove, or comment out, your changes to the /etc/BOOTPtab file.
11. Stop the BOOTP daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.
