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 Combo 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=GDI_Server_ethernet_address:\
:ip=GDI_Server_ip_address:
Lines should be indented with tabs.
Where hostname is the device name of a Combo Print Server, the ht=1 tag specifies
the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the Ethernet address of a
Combo Print Server, which is the Node ID located on the Combo 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 Combo Print Server.
For example, a Combo Print Server with the following configuration:
Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet address is 0000B4010101),
IP address: 203.66.191.12
The entry for this Combo Print Server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:
MF010101:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=0000B4010101:\
:ip=203.66.191.12:
