Setting IP parameters: RARP or BOOTP
With this method, configuration information is sent to the printer over the
Ethernet or Token Ring connection via RARP or BOOTP, depending on which
protocol your host supports. This is called Dynamic Address Resolution.
You store the printer’s configuration information in a configuration file such as
an ethers or bootptab file on a boot server. On power-up, the printer issues RARP
and BOOTP requests and receives the configuration information from the server
in the RARP or BOOTP response.
