Chapter 7 Unix Ethernet Interface Configuration
100
3. Use the “arp” command to add an entry into the Unix station ARP
table for this Ethernet Interface. Here is the most common syntax for
this command:
arp -s
ipaddress ethernetaddress
Example for Microsoft TCP stacks:
arp -s 192.75.11.9 00:80:72:07:00:60
This example specifies a Ethernet Interface using IP address 192.75.11.9
and Ethernet address 00:80:72:07:00:60.
4. Verify that the ARP entry was properly applied.
arp -a
You should see an entry in the listed ARP table with the IP address and
Ethernet address specified in Step 3.
5. Try to “
ping” this IP address to see if the Ethernet Interface can be
seen on your network.
At this point, you should be able to communicate with the Ethernet
Interface from your local Unix station. This means the printer knows about
an IP address and subnet mask and has these settings in its current
memory. However, if the Ethernet Interface is shut off, these settings will
be lost unless you store them in flash memory, as follows:
1. Load a Web browser on your Unix station and direct it to the URL
“
http://
EthernetInterfaceIPaddress
/
networkConf.html
” (e.g. “http://192.75.11.9/
networkConf.html
”).
NOTE: If prompted for a “User ID” and password first, type in “
root” for
the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt since there is
no default password.
2. At the “Network Configuration” HTML form that displays, click in the
field below the “IP Address” heading and type in the IP address for
the Ethernet Interface.
3. Under the “Subnet Mask” heading, enter the Ethernet Interface
subnet mask.
NOTE: If you would like to communicate with the Ethernet Interface from
across routers, you will need to fill in an entry within the “Routing”
