and RARP
Parameters
When the printer is powered on, the default sequence of IP
address acquisition is to attempt BootP first. If BootP fails, attempt
DHCP. If DHCP fails, attempt RARP.
Using the following three commands will define how many times
the XNIC printer server will attempt BootP, DHCP, and RARP.
define server bootp n m
define server dhcp n m
define server rarp n m
These commands can also be used to disable BootP, DHCP, or
RARP on the XNIC. They are detailed in Table 5.2 on page 5-39.
These commands can be issued remotely by:
Telnet. Refer to page 5-39.
TES in Novell. Refer to
Remote Logging into the XNIC via
TES
(page 3-50)
NCP in DEC LAT (Refer to

(page 5-35).
Note
In the following procedures, if the
/etc/ethers
or
/etc/hosts
file
on your host is administered by NIS (formerly, Yellow Pages),
you must update the appropriate NIS master hosts database
instead.
