Using RARP
This subsection describes how to configure the print server
using the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) on
UNIX and Linux systems.
This setup procedure enables the RARP daemon running on
your system to respond to a RARP request from the HP
Jetdirect print server and to supply the IP address to the print
server.
1
Turn the printer off.
2
Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as a superuser.
3
Make sure the RARP daemon is running on your system
by typing the following command at the system prompt:
ps -ef | grep rarpd
(Unix)
ps ax | grep rarpd
(BSD or Linux)
4
The system response should be similar to the following:
861 0.00.2 24 72 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
860 0.00.5 36 140 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
5
If the system does not display a process number for the
RARP daemon, see the
rarpd
man page for instructions
on starting the RARP daemon.
6
Edit the
/etc/hosts
file to add your designated IP
address and node name for the HP Jetdirect print server.
For example:
192.168.45.39 laserjet1
7
Edit the
/etc/ethers
file (
/etc/rarpd.conf
file in
HP-UX 10.20) to add the LAN hardware address/station
address (from the configuration page) and the node name
for the HP Jetdirect print server. For example:
00:01:E6:a8:b0:00 laserjet1
Note
If your system uses Network Information Service
(NIS), you need to incorporate changes to the NIS
host and ethers databases.
8
Turn the printer on.
9
To verify that the card is configured with the correct IP
address, use the ping utility. At the prompt, type:
