Use RARP (IPv4)
You can configure the print server to use RARP on UNIX and Linux systems.
| NOTE:
|
If you are configuring an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, this section assumes that a wireless network connection is established.
|
The procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your system to respond to an RARP request from the HP Jetdirect print server and to supply the IP address to the print server. Configure RARP using the following steps:
| 1.
|
|
| 2.
|
| Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as the super user.
|
|
| 3.
|
| Use the process status command to verify the RARP daemon is running on your system, as in the following example from the system prompt:
|
ps -ef | grep rarpd (Unix)
ps ax | grep rarpd (BSD or Linux)
|
| 4.
|
| The system response should be similar to the following:
|
861 0.00.2 24 72 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
860 0.00.5 36 140 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
|
| 5.
|
| If the RARP daemon is not running on the system (the process is not in the process list), see the rarpd man page for instructions about starting the daemon.
|
|
| 6.
|
| Edit the /etc/hosts file to add your designated IP address and node name for the HP Jetdirect print server, as in the following example:
|
192.168.45.39 laserjet1
|
| 7.
|
| Edit the /etc/ethers file (/etc/rarpd.conf file in HP-UX 10.20) to add the LAN hardware address/station address (from the configuration page) and the node name for the HP Jetdirect print server, as in the following example:
|
00:01:E6:a8:b0:00 laserjet1
|
| NOTE:
|
If your system uses Network Information Service (NIS), you need to incorporate changes to the NIS host and ethers databases.
|
|
| 8.
|
|
| 9.
|
| Verify that the card is configured with the correct IP address, by using the ping utility as in the following example:
|
ping <IP address>
In the example, <IP address> is the assigned address from RARP.
|
| 10.
