Configuration Through the Network with BOOTP
BOOTP is a protocol for configuring the Internal Ethernet Adapter as it
boots. During the boot sequence, the Print Server can broadcast a
BOOTP request and if a BOOTP server is running on the network
configured to respond to the requesting device, it will provide the
Internal Ethernet Adapter with its IP address, netmask, default router,
and a time server from which to query the current time (GMT) and the
timezone in which the Internal Ethernet Adapter is located.
By default, the Print Server will broadcast a BOOTP request when it
boots. The following command can be used to control this request:
store tcpip ifnum opts [[-]bootp]
On the BOOTP server, there must be an entry in /etc/bootptab similar
to the following:
M205:\
:sm= netmask:\
:hd=/usr/boot:\
:bf=null:\
:gw=
default router:\
:ht=ethernet:\
:ha=
network address:\ (i.e. 0080720000DC)
:ip= ipaddress:\
:ts= time server:\
:to= timezone: (in seconds from GMT)
Restoring Factory Defaults
If at any time you would like to restore the Print Server’s network
settings to their original state, you can perform a npsh command or
utilize the dipswitches on the Internal Ethernet Adapter itself.
