Table 11.3 UNIX TCP/IP problems
Problem
Possible Causes
Corrective Actions
Cannot access the XNIC
from your workstation.
Card was previously installed, and
the IP address is from a different
network (i.e., subnet) than the
network you are trying to reach it
from (e.g., 13.0.0.18).
Use a manual routine to set the IP address.
Set up a routing table on the workstation.
The workstation in this example has IP
address 13.1.217.153.
route add host 13.0.0.18 13.1.217.153
0
To check the routing table, enter:
netstat -r
The workstation screen will display your
entry, as well as others.
Ping the device you are trying to reach:
ping 13.0.0.18
The device will answer 13.0.0.18 is alive if
it is connected. If the connection times out,
stop here and re-check cables, routing
tables, etc., because there is no path to the
device.
Telnet to the XNIC:
telnet 13.0.0.18 2048
Log onto the XNIC in order to redefine the IP
address to 13.1.217.156 (instead of
13.0.018). Press <ENTER> to get the #
prompt, and then access at the # prompt.
The Local> and Password> prompts will
appear automatically.
Local> su
Password> system
Local> define server ip 13.1.217.156
Local> init delay 0
Local> logout
Modify UNIX files (/etc/hosts and
/etc/printcap) as described in the UNIX
Installation and Configuration Guide.
Power OFF and ON the printer to enable the
new IP address.
