Printer IP address assignment, option C: Using a RARP or BOOTP server

If your network has a RARP or BOOTP server on the same subnet as the

printer, you can use it to assign the IP address to the printer. Each time the

printer is turned on, it will automatically broadcast a request to RARP and

BOOTP servers, which will search a configuration file that maps the printer’s

built-in Ethernet address to the IP address that you assign.

RARP and BOOTP servers should be maintained by your network

administrator. Configuration depends on the network configuration protocol

and server you select. Your administrator may ask you for the Ethernet

hardware address, which is located on the startup page of your printer.

For troubleshooting information about RARP and BOOTP, see Chapter 12.
