Using RARP to Configure the IP Address Brother print server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following: 00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN_310107 where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the print server and the second entry is the name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file). If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command: ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd The Brother print server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is powered on. 1-13

Using RARP to Configure the IP Address
Brother print server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on
your host computer. This is done by editing the
/etc/ethers
file (if this file does not exist,
you can create it) with an entry similar to the following:
00:80:77:31:01:07
BRN_310107
where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the print server and the second entry is the
name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the
/etc/hosts
file).
If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can
be
rarpd, rarpd -a,
in.rarpd -a
or something else; type
man rarpd
or refer to
your system documentation for additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is
running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command:
ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
The Brother print server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is powered on.
