Chapter 1
Before You Start
System Environment Requirements . [. . . ] If selecting [Off] for [Use DHCP], [Use BOOTP], and [Use RARP], the machine does not check the protocols. If neither DHCP, BOOTP, nor RARP can be used, the IP address specified in [IP Address] is allocated. IMPORTANT For this machine, in addition to direct allocation of the IP address to the machine, you can use DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP to specify the IP address. When the machine is started or reset, it checks whether DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP is being used, and then allocates the IP address using the first available setting method. NOTE · Checking whether DHCP, BOOTP or RARP can be used takes about 1 to 2 minutes; it is recommended you set unused protocols to <Off>. · Depending on whether you use DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP to allocate the IP address, you need to start the DHCP server, BOOTP daemon, or RARP daemon.
