tcpipBootProtocolsEnabled

Module: ESI-MIB

OID (symbolic): ESI-MIB::tcpipBootProtocolsEnabled

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.683.6.3.1.4.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This is the 16 bit mask which determines which boot
protocols will be used to determine the print server's
IP address.

           BIT       Boot Protocol Enabled
           ---       --------------------------
            0        RARP
            1        BootP
            2        DHCP
            3        Gleaning
            4        Default Address Enabled (If no address after 2 minutes
                                       timeout and go to 198.102.102.254) 

A value of 31 indicates that all boot protocols are
enabled.  These protocols will only be used if
tcpipUsingNetProtocols is set to 2.

In order for changes to this variable to take effect,
the print server must be reset.  See cmdReset to do
this.

What is tcpipBootProtocolsEnabled?

A bitmask selecting which address-discovery mechanisms are tried when tcpipUsingNetProtocols is enabled: bit 0 RARP, bit 1 BootP, bit 2 DHCP, bit 3 Gleaning, bit 4 a 2-minute-timeout default address (198.102.102.254). A value of 31 enables all of them; requires a device reset to take effect.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.683.6.3.1.4.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ESI-MIB::tcpipBootProtocolsEnabled

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.683.6.3.1.4.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ESI-MIB::tcpipBootProtocolsEnabled.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.683.6.3.1.4.5.1 i <value>
