DHCP
DHCP is available in Windows NT and UNIX. It operates on the
entire network and allows for automatic but temporary assignment of
Internet addresses from a central pool. DHCP will, when enabled,
cause the selected host to automatically allocate and download a free
Internet address, default router address and subnet mask to the
requesting AXIS 700. It also provides validation data that defines how
long the Internet addresses will remain valid.
ARP
ARP is available in Windows 95, Windows NT, UNIX and OS/2. It
requires the Internet address for each new device to be downloaded
individually. Note that ARP does not work over routers.
RARP
RARP is available in UNIX. It downloads the Internet address to each
device automatically. It requires a RARP daemon on your system and
operates within a single network segment only.
BOOTP
BOOTP is available in UNIX. BOOTP is similar to RARP, but
operates on the entire network. It requires a BOOTP daemon on your
system.
Procedures for using each of the methods are outlined later in this
section.
