AIX 4.1.5 configuration
The following explanation uses AIX4.1.5 and an OKI printer as
examples. The absolute path of commands and the method of
configuring may differ with the OS version. Refer to the
workstation’s manual. If an incorrect IP address is entered, the
network may go down or other damage may occur. Configure after
consulting the network manager.
1. Log in as [root]. If you do not have superuser rights, the
network manager should conduct the configuration.
2. Register the IP address and the host name in the /etc/hosts
file.
Example: for IP Address 172.168.29.127 and host name
okiprinter
172.168.20.127 PRINTER
3. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the
network card.
Example: for host name okiprinter
# ping PRINTER
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the
IP address (the IP address has been already set manually or by the
DHCP/RARP server), or with the network. Reset the network
interface card settings to default and try to set a temporary IP
address. If you still have the problem after resetting the network
interface card, consult the network manager.
4. Register the host that was previously registered as the print
server.
Example: for the OKI printer registered as the print server
a. Add the print server.
# ruser –a –p okiprinter
