Manual System V Host Setup
117
Solaris 2.6 – 7 NIC Setup
NOTE: Requires Superuser privilege in the borne shell. Assume
that you can ping and Telnet to the adapter.
The IP address of the NIC adapter must be placed in the /etc/hosts
file.
Syntax:
lpadmin -p [queue_name] -v /dev/null
lpadmin -p [queue_name] -i /usr/lib/lp/model/
netstandard
lpadmin -p [queue_name] -o dest=[host_name] -o
protocol=bsd -o timeout=60
lpadmin -p [queue_name] -s [host_name]!d1prn -I any
enable {queue_name]
accept [queue_name]
where
[queue _name] = any name, but not the name in the etc/hosts file or
d1prn
[host_name] = name in etc/hosts file
Troubleshooting
This installation procedure assumes that the NIC adapter is
configured with the correct IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
(if required). You can also ping and telnet to the NIC adapter.
Print an E-Net Test Page to verify the Ethernet settings.
See “Printing A NIC Test Page” on page 22.
The default NIC queue name is d1prn, however, the name can be
changed. To verify the queue name, print an E-Net Test Page or
telnet to the adapter and run a “list dest” command.
NOTE: Depending on the shell, preceed the ! character with a \ to
avoid shell script errors.
