Manual Installation Procedure
Chapter 5: Using the Printer with UNIX TCP/IP ❖ 5-17
Installing the BootP Server on a Different Segment
and Using a Router
1
Perform Steps 1 through Step 4 beginning on page 5-16.
2
Determine which router is between the BootP server and the
BootP client (XNIC).
3
Telnet into the above router and enable BootP service. This
will allow the BootP request to be passed from the router.
4
While still logged in on the router, specify the address of the
BootP server or the network segment where a BootP server
can be found.
5
On the UNIX Platform that serves as the BootP server, be
sure you include the routing path to the router by using the
UNIX command:
route add host router_IPaddress host_IPaddress
For example:
route add host 200.1.106.11 200.1.106.4
6
Verify that the routing path is valid with the following UNIX
command:
netstat -r
7
Verify the communication to the router by Pinging to the
router using this format:
ping router’s IP address
For example:
ping 200.1.106.11
