Using RARP (IPv4)
This section describes how to configure the print server using the Reverse Address Resolution
Protocol (RARP) on UNIX and Linux systems.
This setup procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your system to respond to a RARP
request from the HP Jetdirect print server and to supply the IP address to the print server.
1
Turn the printer off.
2
Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as a superuser.
3
Make sure the RARP daemon is running on your system by typing the following command at the
system prompt:
ps -ef | grep rarpd
(Unix)
ps ax | grep rarpd
(BSD or Linux)
4
The system response should be similar to the following:
861 0.00.2 24 72 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
860 0.00.5 36 140 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
5
If the system does not display a process number for the RARP daemon, see the
rarpd
man page
for instructions on starting the RARP daemon.
6
Edit the
/etc/hosts
file to add your designated IP address and node name for the HP Jetdirect
print server. For example:
192.168.45.39 laserjet1
7
Edit the
/etc/ethers
file (
/etc/rarpd.conf
file in HP-UX 10.20) to add the LAN hardware
address/station address (from the configuration page) and the node name for the HP Jetdirect
print server. For example:
00:01:E6:a8:b0:00 laserjet1
NOTE
If your system uses Network Information Service (NIS), you need to incorporate
changes to the NIS host and ethers databases.
8
Turn the printer on.
9
To verify that the card is configured with the correct IP address, use the ping utility. At the
prompt, type:
ping <IP address>
where
<IP address>
is the assigned address from RARP.
10
If ping does not respond, see
Troubleshooting
the
HP
Jetdirect
Print
Server
.
Using the arp and ping Commands (IPv4)
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
