HP-UX 10.x configuration
If an incorrect IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered, the
network may go down or other damage may occur. Check the address
with the network manager.
The following example uses HP-UX10.20 and a C5300 printer as
examples. The absolute path and method of configuring commands
may differ in other versions of the OS. Refer to the workstation manual
for more details.
1. Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set. See
network interface card IP address configuration for more
information.
2. Login as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have superuser
rights, the network manager should conduct the configuration.
3. Register the IP Address of the network card and the host name in
the /etc/hosts file.
Example: for IP Address 192.168.20.127 and host name C5300
192.168.20.127 C5300
4. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network
card.
Example: for host name C5300
# ping C5300
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP
address (the IP address has already been set manually or
dynamically), 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.
5. If remote spooling is not already enabled on the HP-UX machine,
carry out the following configuration.
