IP Address
Option 2:
Using DHCP
If the UNIX host is configured as a DHCP server, the IP address is
assigned automatically. Refer to your UNIX documentation to
configure your DHCP server on the network.
Next you will need to configure the print queue, using one of the
following three options:
Print Queue Option 1: Setting up lpd
(page 5-27)
Print Queue Option 2: Setting up RPRINT on BSD Hosts
(page 5-30)
Print Queue Option 3: Setting up RPRINT on System V
Hosts
(page 5-32).
Note
The XNIC must be configured as reserved client by the
host DHCP administration facility. This guarantees that an IP
address assigned by DHCP will be reserved exclusively for
that printer through its LAN hardware address.
To begin the DHCP procedure, the IP address on the XNIC
must be none.
The workstation that has DHCP running on it and the printer
that you wish to assign a new IP address to must be on the
same network segment.
