Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server Using BootP
To assign an IP address using the Bootstrap Protocol (BootP):
1. Determine the physical address and the device name of the print server.
The factory default name and the physical address are shown on a sticker on the bottom of the unit. The
default name on your device is PSxxxxxx.
2. Log in to the UNIX host as root.
3. Add the print server to the /etc/hosts file by adding to the file:
IP_Address NAME # Comment
Use these definitions for entering the information:
IP_Address is the IP address of your print server.
NAME is the name of your print server.
A sample entry is:
192.10.2.54 PS_Rm203 #Default name PS123456
In the example, a print server with an IP address of 192.10.2.54 is called PS_Rm203 and has a default name
of PS123456.
4. Add to the Boot Table in the /etc/booptab file:
NAME:ht=ether:vm=rfc1024::ha=PA:ip=IP:sm=SM:gw=GW
Use these definitions for entering the information:
NAME is the name of your print server.
PA is the physical address of your print server.
IP is the IP address of your print server.
SM is the Subnet Mask IP address.
Refer to Appendix B “Understanding IP Addresses,” for additional information about assigning a
Subnet Mask IP address.
GW is the Gateway IP address.
Refer to Appendix B “Understanding IP Addresses,” for additional information about assigning a
Gateway IP address.
5. Start the BootP daemon (the usual command is BOOTPd) if the command in step 2 did not start the
BootP process, and then reset the print server so that it obtains an IP address using BootP.
