IV - 72
Section IV - TCP/IP
OKI OkiLAN 6010e User’s Guide
IP addresses are 32-bits and are expressed in 4 bytes
(decimal format) usually separated by periods. Each
decimal byte has a range from 0 to 255.
Example:
192.168.42.1
Configuration File
The purpose of BOOTP is to look up a 32-bit IP address
given a 48-bit network hardware address. The BOOTP
server (which is usually a UNIX workstation running a
bootpd daemon) performs this function using one
configuration file and one or more daemons. The
configuration file is “/etc/bootptab” and the daemon is
called
bootpd
.
A name can be arbitrarily assigned to any device on a
network. The following examples use the name
OKIPRINTER. Remember that this name is arbitrary; a
customer can assign any name they wish.
/etc/bootptab:
The “/etc/bootptab” file
has entries where each
entry maps a network
hardware address to an IP
address.
Example:
OKIPRINTER:\
ht=ether:\
ha=0040681750A4:\
ip=192.168.42.55
