IP Address
Option 2:
Using DHCP
If the UNIX host is configured as a DHCP server, the IP address is 
assigned automatically. Refer to your UNIX documentation to 
configure your DHCP server on the network.
Next you will need to configure the print queue, using one of the 
following three options:
 Print Queue Option 1: Setting up lpd (page 5-27)
 Print Queue Option 2: Setting up RPRINT on BSD Hosts 
(page 5-30)
 Print Queue Option 3: Setting up RPRINT on System V 
Hosts (page 5-32).
Note
The XNIC must be configured as reserved client by the 
host DHCP administration facility. This guarantees that an IP 
address assigned by DHCP will be reserved exclusively for 
that printer through its LAN hardware address.
To begin the DHCP procedure, the IP address on the XNIC 
must be none.
The workstation that has DHCP running on it and the printer 
that you wish to assign a new IP address to must be on the 
same network segment.
