Unix NIC Configuration

3.
Under the
Subnet Mask
heading, enter the NIC subnet mask.
NOTE:
If you would like to communicate with the NIC from across
routers, you will need to fill in an entry within the “Routing”
section. Please see “Communicating Across Routers” on
page 132 for further details.
4.
Click the
Submit
button when done and physically repower the
print server to make sure the new settings are in effect.
Using RARP
RARP allows you to dynamically assign an IP address to the NIC
upon bootup. To configure the NIC with its TCP/IP settings using
RARP:
1.
On your RARP server, make an entry in the /etc/ethers file for
the NIC.
Syntax:
ethernetaddress NICIPaddress
Example:
00:80:72:07:00:60 192.75.11.9
2.
Start the RARP daemon on the RARP server if not already
running. If it is running, send an HUP signal to it with the
kill
command:
Syntax:
kill -HUP
pid
where
pid
is the process ID of the RARP daemon.
3.
Power on the NIC so that it immediately sends out an RARP
request. Wait one minute to allow the address assignment
process to complete. You should see the STAT LED on the NIC
interface slow down, indicating it knows about an IP address to
use.
