Setting TCP/IP Auto IP Address
If Auto IP is on, you can use the UNIX commands
arp
and
ping
to change the LAN card's IP address.
Arp
is a
host command which displays or modifies the host's
ARP entry table to assign a MAC address to a known IP
address. Follow these steps to set Auto IP to On.
1.
Select the printer you want to change from the list of
printers in the Printer Administration window.
2. From the Printer Administration window click the
TCP/IP
button or select the TCP/IP menu option
from the Configure menu.
3. Set the Auto IP Address radio button to On.
4. Select the Save button to save the new auto IP
address selection method and leave the TCP/IP
Parameters dialog box
Or
Select the Cancel button to keep the old auto IP
address selection method and leave the TCP/IP
Parameters dialog box.
note:
If your network does not support
arp
,
changing the Auto IP Address setting has no effect.
Follow these steps to change the LAN card's IP address
using Auto IP. You will need to know the host's IP
address, the LAN card's old IP address, and the new IP
address for the LAN card. Your system administrator
will know the old IP address. Print a configuration page
to see the LAN card’s IP address. See “Print a
Configuration Page” on page 2-13.
note:
Turn off any other Silentwriters with the same
IP address before following these steps.
1. Open the command prompt window.
2. Use the
route
command to add the LAN card's IP
address to the ARP table.
route add <LAN card old IP> <host IP>
For example,
route add 11.22.33.44 11.22.33.51
Some operating systems require a 0 at the end of the
route add
command. Check with your system
administrator.
3. Use the
ping
command to get the target LAN card
information. Be sure to turn off any other
Silentwriters with the same IP address first.
ping <LAN card old IP>
For example,
ping 11.22.33.44
4. Use the
arp
command to get the LAN card's MAC
address.
arp -a
The LAN card's MAC address will be displayed.
Interface: <host IP>
Internet Address Physical Address Type
<LAN card old IP><LAN card MAC>dynamic
For example,
Interface: 11.22.33.51
