6.3 Setup Print Server’s IP Address
The print server must have a unique IP address in
order to be recognized by the network.
You can set up the IP address on the various Unix
systems using any one of the following methods:
1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)
The print server will use the last three methods to
obtain its IP address automatically if its IP address is
configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).
6.3.1 DHCP
There are many Unix systems that support DHCP
protocol, and the procedures to configure the DHCP
server database are different. This manual does not
describe the DHCP server configuration on the Unix
systems. It is highly recommended that the DHCP
server should be located on the same network as the
print server.
6.3.2 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running
on your UNIX system that is accessible by the print
server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the
IP address of the print server. We recommend that the
BOOTP server should be located on the same subnet
as the print server. If you use Network Information
