where the first entry is the MAC Address (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 another command; type man rarpd or see 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 Dell print server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the machine is powered on. Configure the IP Address Using APIPA The Dell print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. With APIPA, DHCP clients automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. The device selects its own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255. The subnet mask is automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0. By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. To disable the APIPA protocol, use the machine's control panel, or Web Based Management. Configure the IP Address Using ARP If your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command. The ARP command is available on Windows®systems that have TCP/IP installed and UNIX®systems. To use ARP, type the following command: arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress ipaddress Where ethernetaddress is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example: Windows®systems Windows®systems require the hyphen (dash) "-" character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet Address). arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07 ping 192.168.1.2 UNIX®/Linux systems Typically, UNIX®and Linux systems require the colon ":" character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet Address). arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07 ping 192.168.1.2 NOTE: You must be on the same Ethernet segment to use the ARP command, that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and operating system. If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods to enter the IP address. If your administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP, your Dell print server can receive an IP address from 108 Network
