Set the IP Address
using RARP in
UNIX/Linux
Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using RARP.
Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is typically
located in the
/etc/ethers file:
Example:
1. Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases as required
by your system.
2. If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon. This is typically
performed using the
rarpd -a command.
3. Restart the print server to download the IP address.
4. You have now set the IP address of the print server. Continue to “Making
Network Printers available for printing on your PC” on page 21.
Notes:
<Ethernet address> <host name>
00:40:8c:10:00:86 npsname
• If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply replace the host name entry
with the IP address in the example above.
• If you are using IBM AIX, you will probably not have access to a RARP daemon. If this is the
case, you can use either ARP (see “Set the IP Address using ARP in UNIX/Linux and Mac OS
X” on page 20) or BOOTP (see “Set the IP Address using BOOTP in UNIX/Linux” on page 19).
• You have to restart the print server to download the IP address.
