3.6.2.1 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.
3.6.2.2 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
2. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/bootptab file, similar to the following:
hostname:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=MFP_Server_ethernet_address:\
:ip=MFP_Server_ip_address:
Lines should be indented with tabs.
