Chapter 5 Unix Ethernet Interface Configuration Unix Ethernet Interface Configuration There are mandatory settings needed before the print server can be detected on the network, as well as some additional optional settings. This section offers alternative methods for configuring your Ethernet Interface and mentions some of the more common optional settings available. Mandatory Since TCP/IP is used, the Ethernet Interface must be configured with a minimum of an IP address and subnet mask before it can be seen on the network. To configure these options, see "Configuration Tools" on page 32. Optional Additional settings, like routing entries, can be configured allowing for communication across subnets. Configuration of the Ethernet Interface can be done from the control panel (Smart only), through host commands via Telnet or through the Web browser (Smart only) interface, or another IBM utility software (e.g. 4400 Ethernet Utility). To configure these options, see "Configuration Tools" on page 32. Using ARP To configure the Ethernet Interface with its TCP/IP settings using a manual arp command, the syntax is: arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress For the aix command, the syntax is: aix -s ether ipaddress Mac_address To use either of these commands: 1. Log on to a Unix station as superuser or root. This station must be located on the same subnet as the Ethernet Interface since ARP is limited to subnets. 110
