Using the Ethernet Card
6-14
Then, follow these steps to set up the printer:
1.
Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP address to
the hardware address of the Ethernet card, as follows:
arp -s <IP address> <hardware address>
For example, add an entry like this:
arp -s 192.1.1.6 00-00-48-92-BD-9A
2.
Start a continuous “ping” to the card, with the card IP
addresss as follows:
ping <IP address>
For example, enter a command like this:
ping 192.1.1.6
You see a message similar to the following:
Reply from 192.1.1.6: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=30
Reply from 192.1.1.6: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=30
Reply from 192.1.1.6: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=30
Reply from 192.1.1.6: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=30
This shows that the Ethernet card is set up correctly.
3.
Edit the /etc/hosts file on the computer to include the new
IP address and an Ethernet card name as follows:
<IP address> <Ethernet card name>
For example, include this command line:
192.1.1.6 PrintrA
4.
Use ping again to make sure the printer is responding. You
can use either of the following:
ping <printer name>
ping <IP address>
Note:
If you don’t know what IP
address to use for the
Ethernet card, ask your
network administrator.
