Using RARP This subsection describes how to configure the print server using the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) on UNIX and Linux systems. This setup procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your system to respond to a RARP request from the HP Jetdirect print server and to supply the IP address to the print server. 1. Turn the printer off. 2. Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as a superuser. 3. Make sure the RARP daemon is running on your system by typing the following command at the system prompt: ps -ef | grep rarpd (Unix) ps ax | grep rarpd (BSD or Linux) 4. The system response should be similar to the following: 861 0.00.2 24 72 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a 860 0.00.5 36 140 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a 5. If the system does not display a process number for the RARP daemon, see the rarpd man page for instructions on starting the RARP daemon. 6. Edit the /etc/hosts file to add your designated IP address and node name for the HP Jetdirect print server. For example: 192.168.0.1 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: 00:60:b0: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.

TCP/IP Configuration 31
Using RARP
This subsection describes how to configure the print server using
the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) on UNIX and
Linux systems.
This setup procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your
system to respond to a RARP request from the HP Jetdirect print
server and to supply the IP address to the print server.
1.
Turn the printer off.
2.
Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as a superuser.
3.
Make sure the RARP daemon is running on your system by
typing the following command at the system prompt:
ps -ef | grep rarpd
(Unix)
ps ax | grep rarpd
(BSD or Linux)
4.
The system response should be similar to the following:
861 0.00.2
24
72
5
14:03
0:00 rarpd -a
860 0.00.5
36 140
5
14:03
0:00
rarpd -a
5.
If the system does not display a process number for the RARP
daemon, see the
rarpd
man page for instructions on starting the
RARP daemon.
6.
Edit the
/etc/hosts
file to add your designated IP address and
node name for the HP Jetdirect print server. For example:
192.168.0.1 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:
00:60:b0: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.
