ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 66
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/XP/Server 2003 or UNIX system configured
for TCP/IP operation
● A legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 has been set on the print
server
● The LAN hardware (MAC) address of the HP Jetdirect print
server (specified on an HP Jetdirect configuration page)
Note On some systems, superuser rights may be required
for the arp command.
After an IP address is assigned through 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.
