Oki ML591 Users' Guide for the OkiLAN 6010e - Page 164

Section IV - TCP/IP 4. The bootpd daemon transmits a response to the OkiLAN 6010e with the IP address 192.168.42.55. The OkiLAN 6010e will use this IP address for all subsequent transmissions. For these steps to work properly, at least one BOOTP daemon (bootpd) must be running on the BOOTP server. To test whether a BOOTP daemon is running on the BOOTP server, use the ps command with the show all process option within fifteen minutes of an attempted BOOTP request. Unfortunately, the ps options differ from one UNIX workstation to another. Perform a man ps at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the ps command for a particular workstation. If bootpd is not running on a workstation, type man bootpd at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the BOOTP daemon and how to start it. Limitations Often TCP/IP networks are divided into subnets. BOOTP does not work across subnets. When installing an OkiLAN 6010e, make sure the following criteria are met for BOOTP to work properly. • Both the BOOTP server and the OkiLAN 6010e are physically attached to the same subnet. • The IP address assigned to the OkiLAN 6010e and the IP address of the BOOTP server belong to the same subnet.
