route add 192.0.0.192 ‘’IP address of
the workstation’’ 0
Note: The zero (0) placed at the end of the route
add command shown above is optional.
The Static Route method only works if the host from
which you are telneting is on the same subnet as the
Network Print Server. Once the
route add
command
has been issued,
telnet
will allow you to change and/or
make the IP address permanent. After changing the IP
address to its permanent address, the routing table
entry should be deleted using
route delete
.
For more information, consult your system documen-
tation for the
route
command.
RARP or BOOTP
If an IP address has not been permanently assigned,
the Network Print Server will use Reverse Address
Resolution Protocol (RARP) or Bootstrap Protocol
(BOOTP). The Network Print Server will broadcast
requests for its IP address to both RARP and BOOTP
servers. A RARP or BOOTP server will respond by
searching a configuration file that maps the Ethernet
hardware addresses of devices on the network to their
respective IP addresses. If a match is found, the
server’s response will include the IP address of the
device.
Most UNIX operating systems support either the
RARP or BOOTP protocol. To find out which protocol
your operating system supports, request the manual
page for the protocol’s daemon (e.g.
man bootpd
or
man rarpd
), or see your network manuals. Both proto-
cols require that you add the product’s network hard-
