TCP/IP Configuration 74
Using the arp and ping Commands
Note
For HP Jetdirect
wireless
print servers, this section
assumes that a wireless connection to your network
has been established.
You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address
using an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command from a
supported system. The protocol is not routable, that is, the
workstation from which the configuration is made must be located
on the same network segment as the HP Jetdirect print server.
Using the arp and ping commands with HP Jetdirect print servers
requires the following:
●
Windows NT/2000/XP or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP
operation
●
HP Jetdirect firmware version x.20.00 or later
●
A legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 has been set on the print
server
●
The LAN hardware (MAC) address of the HP Jetdirect print
server (specified on an HP Jetdirect configuration page, or on
a label attached to HP Jetdirect external print servers)
Note
On some systems, superuser rights may be required
for the
arp
command.
After an IP address is assigned through
arp
and
ping
commands,
use other tools (such as Telnet, embedded Web server, or HP Web
Jetadmin software) to configure other IP parameters.
To configure a Jetdirect print server, use the following commands:
arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware address>
ping <IP address>
where
<IP address>
is the desired IP address to be assigned to
the print server. The
arp
command writes the entries to the arp
cache on the workstation, and the
ping
command configures the
IP address on the print server.
