Chapter 5 Unix Ethernet Interface Configuration

Unix Ethernet Interface Configuration
There are mandatory and optional settings needed before the print
server can be detected on the network. This section offers
alternative methods for configuring your Ethernet Interface and
mentions some of the more common optional settings available.
Mandatory
Since TCP/IP is used, the Ethernet Interface must be configured
with a minimum of an IP address and subnet mask before it can be
seen on the network. To configure these options, see
“Configuration Tools” on page 52.
Optional
Additional settings, like routing entries, can be configured allowing
for communication across subnets.
Configuration of the Ethernet Interface can be done from the control
panel through host commands via Telnet or through the Web
browser interface. To configure these options, see “Configuration
Tools” on page 52.
Using ARP
To configure the Ethernet Interface with its TCP/IP settings using a
manual arp command, the syntax is:
arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress
For the aix command, the syntax is:
aix -s ether ipaddress Mac_address
To use either of these commands:
1. Log on to a Unix station as superuser or root. This station
must be located on the same subnet as the Ethernet Interface
since ARP is limited to subnets.
