6.
Edit the
/etc/hosts
file to add your designated IP address and node name for the HP Jetdirect
print server. For 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. For 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.
Turn the printer on.
9.
To verify that the card is configured with the correct IP address, use the ping utility. At the prompt,
type:
ping <IP address>
where
<IP address>
is the assigned address from RARP.
10.
If ping does not respond, see
Troubleshooting the HP Jetdirect Print Server
.
Using the arp and ping Commands (IPv4)
You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address using an ARP (Address Resolution
Protocol) command from a supported system. The protocol is not routable, that is, the workstation from
which the configuration is made must be located on the same network segment as the HP Jetdirect print
server.
Using the arp and ping commands with HP Jetdirect print servers requires the following:
●
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP operation
●
A legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 has been set on the print server
●
The LAN hardware (MAC) address of the HP Jetdirect print server (specified on an HP Jetdirect
configuration page
NOTE
On some systems, superuser rights may be required for the
arp
command.
After an IP address is assigned through
arp
and
ping
commands, use other tools (such as Telnet,
embedded Web server, or HP Web Jetadmin software) to configure other IP parameters.
To configure a Jetdirect print server, use the following commands:
arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware address>
ping <IP address>
where
<IP address>
is the desired IP address to be assigned to the print server. The
arp
command
writes the entries to the arp cache on the workstation, and the
ping
command configures the IP address
on the print server.
Depending on the system, the LAN hardware address may require a specific format.
