Reference
For details about how to make the above settings, see the manual that comes

Checking the IP address configuration
Follow the procedure below to make sure that the IP address has been config-
ured correctly.
• The following procedure uses the sample IP address: 192.168.15.16.
A
Enter the following:
# ping 192.168.15.16
If the address has been configured correctly, the following message appears:
192.168.15.16 is alive
If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message ap-
pears:
no answer from 192.168.15.16
Note
❒ When you use NIS, the IP address and host name are written to /etc/hosts
on the master server. When you use DNS, the information is written to a
data file on the name server. After writing the host name and IP address to
the file, make sure that the configuration is correct by pinging the host.
# ping host_name
❒ If the host name is registered with an IP address, the server can access the
printer using its host name instead of its IP address.
