UNIX Configuration 7-3
• Use the arp and ping capability.
For each of the methods covered in this section, you will need to provide the Ethernet
address of the EcoLAN 2000E. The Ethernet address is the 12-character code that is
listed as Hardware Address on the EcoLAN 2000E Network Status Page.
You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or ping procedures only when the Print Server is in its
factory default state (no IP information entered.) After the Print Server has an IP
address, you must use the printer front panel, the Telnet utility, the AppleTalk
KYOManage utility for the Macintosh, or the EcoLAN 2000E HTML management
pages accessed through the MAP utility or a Web Browser to change an IP address,
Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
7.2.1 Using BOOTP
The BOOTP daemon is a native TCP/IP option for configuring the IP address of a
diskless network device. To communicate the IP address, use the following
procedure:
1.
Turn off the printer.
2.
Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if
the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP
address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network,
and then use Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser util-
ity to change the IP address. See section 8.2 for instructions on using Telnet.
3.
Find the Ethernet address of the EcoLAN 2000E. The address is listed as Hard-
ware Address on the EcoLAN 2000E Network Status Page.
4.
Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and
EcoLAN 2000E's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address.
For example, a EcoLAN 2000E named printfast with an IP address of
192.9.200.200 has the following entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5.
Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running.
