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 Services (NIS) in your system, you
may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP services
