Using the arp and ping
Commands
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 or UNIX system configured for
TCP/IP operation
•
HP Jetdirect firmware version x.08.03 or later
•
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 via
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.
Depending on the system, the LAN hardware address may
require a specific format.
For example:
•
In Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000
arp -s 192.168.45.39 00-01-E6-a2-31-98
