Using the arp and ping Commands
You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address using an ARP (Address Resolution
Protocol) command from a supported system. The protocol is not routable, that is, the workstation
from which the configuration is made must be located on the same network segment as the HP
Jetdirect print server.
Using the arp and ping commands with HP Jetdirect print servers requires the following:
Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003 or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP operation
A legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 has been set on the print server
The LAN hardware (MAC) address of the HP Jetdirect print server (specified on an HP Jetdirect
configuration page)
NOTE
On some systems, superuser rights may be required for the
arp
command.
After an IP address is assigned through
arp
and
ping
commands, use other tools (such as Telnet,
embedded Web server, or HP Web Jetadmin software) to configure other IP parameters.
To configure a Jetdirect print server, use the following commands:
arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware address>
ping <IP address>
where
<IP address>
is the desired IP address to be assigned to the print server. The
arp
command writes the entries to the arp cache on the workstation, and the
ping
command configures
the IP address on the print server.
Depending on the system, the LAN hardware address may require a specific format.
For example:
For Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003
arp -s 192.168.45.39 00-01-E6-a2-31-98
ping 192.168.45.39
For UNIX
arp -s 192.168.45.39 00:01:E6:a2:31:98
ping 192.168.45.39
