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 print
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=print_server_ethernet_address:\
:ip=print_server_ip_address:
Lines should be indented with tabs.
Where hostname is the device name of a print server, the
ht=1 tag specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag
specifies the Ethernet address of a print server, which is the
Node ID located on the print server. The ha tag must be
preceded by the ht tag. The ip= tag should correspond to the
IP address you want to assign to the print server.
For example, a print server with the following
configuration:
Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet
address is 0000B4010101),
