13.2.2.1 DHCP
There are many Unix/Linux systems that support DHCP protocol,
and the procedures to configure the DHCP server database are
different. Please refer to the manual of Unix/Linux for the way to
use different DHCP Server. It is highly recommended that the
DHCP server should be located on the same network as the MFP
Server.
13.2.2.2 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your
UNIX/LINUX system that is accessible by the MFP Server, you can
use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address of the MFP
Server. We recommend that the BOOTP server should be located
on the same subnet as the MFP Server. If you use Network
Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild
the NIS map with the BOOTP services before doing the following
BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your
system documentation.
To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will
need to log in the host of BOOTP server as the superuser (root).
Perform the following steps to add address entries,
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the MFP Server’s
IP address. You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by
adding a line such as:
203.66.191.12 pserver
