UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP Configuring the IP Address on the NC-2 Print Server Using rarp The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (rarp) allows network devices to query a server for their IP addresses on start-up. This procedure requires a workstation with a rarp server. To store the IP address, use the following procedure: 1. Turn the printer off. 2. Log in as superuser on the rarp server. 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. 3. Find the Ethernet address of the NC-2 Print Server. The address is printed on the configuration status report when you power on the printer. 4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP Address and NC-2 Print Server's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a print server with the name of printfast has the following entry: 192.9.200.200 printfast 5. Edit the /etc/ethers file or use NIS or DIS to add the Ethernet address. To continue the example, for the printfast card with an Ethernet address of 00:40:c8:00:00:ff, make the following entry: 0:40:c8:0:0:ff printfast 5-22 UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP

Configuring the IP Address on the NC-2 Print Server
Using rarp
The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (rarp) allows network devices to
query a server for their IP addresses on start-up. This procedure requires a
workstation with a rarp server.
To store the IP address, use the following procedure:
1. Turn the printer off.
2. Log in as superuser on the rarp server.
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.
3. Find the Ethernet address of the NC-2 Print Server. The address is printed
on the configuration status report when you power on the printer.
4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP
Address and NC-2 Print Server's node name.
See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a print server
with the name of printfast has the following entry:
192.9.200.200
printfast
5. Edit the /etc/ethers file or use NIS or DIS to add the Ethernet address.
To continue the example, for the printfast card with an Ethernet address of
00:40:c8:00:00:ff, make the following entry:
0:40:c8:0:0:ff printfast
