TCP/IP Configuration 43
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.
Depending on the system, the LAN hardware address requires a
specific format.
●
From a DOS prompt (Windows NT/2000):
arp -s
<IP address> <LAN hardware address>
ping
<IP address>
●
From a UNIX command prompt:
arp -s
<IP address> <LAN hardware address>
ping
<IP address>
