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
to change the IP
address. See
Running TELNET
(page 5-47) for
instructions on using
Telnet
.
3. Find the Ethernet address of the NIC. 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 [print server's node name. See the
network administrator for the IP address. For example, a
print server with a name of
printfast
and an IP address of
192.9.200.200 has the following entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5. Add an entry to the
arp
cache for the print server's IP
address and Ethernet address. For example:
arp -s 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff
6. Check the printer to see that the print server is connected
to the network. Turn on the printer.
7. Send a ping command the NIC to verify it is running on
the network. For example:
ping 192.9.200.200 or
ping printfast
The NIC will not respond to this
ping
command but it will
read its IP address from the packets.
8. Turn the printer off and back on again and then send the
ping command again to verify that the print server
obtained its IP address. If the print server has the address,
the result is a confirmation message:
192.9.200.200 is alive
