Configuring the Network Print Server IP Address with RARP RARP is an acronym for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. Every TCP/IP network device must have a unique 32-bit IP address. TCP/IP network devices will have both an IP address and a 48-bit Ethernet (network hardware) address. Ethernet addresses usually cannot be configured and are hard coded by the manufacturer of the device. RARP is a protocol used by devices that know their network hardware address, but TCP/IP 141

attempted BOOTP request. Unfortunately, the
ps
options differ from one UNIX workstation to another.
Perform a
man ps
at the UNIX prompt to consult a
manual page on the
ps
command for a particular work-
station. If bootpd is not running on a workstation, type
man bootpd
at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual
page on the BOOTP daemon and how to start it.
Limitations
Often TCP/IP networks are divided into
subnets
.
BOOTP does not work across subnets. When install-
ing a Network Print Server, make sure the following
criteria are met for BOOTP to work properly.
Both the BOOTP server and the Network Print
Server are physically attached to the same subnet.
The IP address assigned to the Network Print
Server and the IP address of the BOOTP server
belong to the same subnet.
OR
Your router(s) are configured to forward BOOTP
packets between the Network Print Server’s subnet
and the subnet of the host running the BOOTP
server.
