7.5.1
Configuring the IP Address on the Network Interface Board
The Network Interface Board must be given IP address and routing parameters. You can
configure the IP address for the Network Interface Board in one of the following ways:
Ÿ
Use MAP, as described in Chapter 3.
Ÿ
Use the Internet Boot Protocol (BOOTP).
Ÿ
Use reverse ARP (rarp, Ethernet II frame type only).
Ÿ
Use arp and ping.
For each method, you will need to provide the Ethernet address of the Network Interface
Board. The Ethernet address is the 12-character code that is printed under Network
Address on the configuration status report each time the printer is turned on.
You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or ping procedures only when the Print Server is in its
factory default state (no IP information entered.) After the Print Server has an IP
address, you must use the Telnet utility, the AppleTalk NIManage utility for the
Macintosh, or the Network Interface Board HTML management pages accessed through
the MAP utility or a Web Browser to change an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default
Gateway.
7.5.1.1 Using BOOTP
The BOOTP daemon is a native TCP/IP option for configuring the IP address of a
diskless network device. To communicate the IP address, use the following procedure:
1.
Turn off the printer.
2.
Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if
the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address
in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network, and then use
Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser utility to change the
IP address. See 7.5 Running Telnet, for instructions on using Telnet.
3.
Find the Ethernet address of the Network Interface Board. The address is printed on
the configuration status report each time you turn the printer on.
4.
Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and
Network Interface Board's node name. See the network administrator for the IP
address. For example, a Network Interface Board named printfast with an IP address
of 192.9.200.200 has the following entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5.
Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running.
6.
Edit the /etc/BOOTP tab file and add the following information:
nic_host:\
:ht = hardware type:\
:ha = ethernet address:\
:ip = IP address:\
:sm = subnet mask:\
