4-2 IP Address Assignment
A s s i g n i n g t h e I P A d d r e s s
There are many different methods for assigning an IP address to the
MonarchNet: Gleaning, Static Route Entry, DHCP, BOOTP and using the
MonarchNet utilities. Gleaning, and Static Route Entry require the
MonarchNet and the host to be on the same subnet. DHCP and BOOTP also
have this restriction unless the network routers are configured to pass these
requests. The MonarchNet utilities do not have this restriction.

If you have any Windows PCs on your network, the easiest way to assign an
IP address is through MonarchNet for TCP/IP.
Before running MonarchNet for TCP/IP, you must do the following:
♦ Install the MonarchNet hardware.
♦ Record the serial number and Ethernet or Token-Ring address of your
MonarchNet print server.
♦ Install the MonarchNet for TCP/IP utility.
To Assign an IP Address:
1. Run the MonarchNet for TCP/IP utility.
2. From the list of print servers, select the Hardware Address of the
device to be assigned an IP address.
3. From the Print Server menu, select Configure.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for
passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network in a
client/server fashion. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP),
adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses
and additional configuration options. DHCP uses the same packet structure
as BOOTP so current BOOTP relay agents will also interact with DHCP
messages.
