Apple Workgroup Server 8550 - Manual (Page 24)

Configuring your TCP/IP network connection
You use the TCP/IP control panel to specify the default port for TCP/IP as
well as other information that TCP/IP requires. In particular, your server
must have an Internet Protocol (IP) address. It may also need a subnet mask
number, depending on the way TCP/IP is implemented on your network.
IMPORTANT If you have an Apple Internet Server, refer to the Getting Started
booklet that came in your Apple Internet Server Solution package for
details about configuring your TCP/IP connection.
You can enter this information manually, or you can use a server on your
network to provide this information automatically. The types of servers that
can configure TCP/IP automatically are BootP (for Boot Protocol), RARP
(for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol), DHCP (for Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol), and MacIP (for Macintosh Internet Protocol) servers.
Note: MacIP is both a type of server and a protocol for sending Internet-
type packets of information over an AppleTalk network.
RARP and MacIP servers can provide an IP address only for your server.
DHCP and BootP servers can provide an IP address for your server as well
as the IP address of name servers that are present in your network.
To use the TCP/IP control panel:
1 Open the TCP/IP control panel.
The TCP/IP control panel is in the Control Panels submenu in the
Apple (K) menu.
The TCP/IP control panel appears.
2 Choose User Mode from the Edit menu, and click the Administration
button. Then click OK.
