Assigning Ip Address With Arp+Ping - Gestetner CP6244 Operating Instructions Manual

Appendix

Assigning IP Address with ARP+PING

Using TCP/IP, you can assign the IP address using ARP and PING. The follow-
ing example is for a BSD UNIX workstation (SunOS 4.x).
Preparation
ARP+PING should be set to active on the network boot configuration before
assigning the IP address using ARP+PING. For more information about set-
ting it to active, see Printer Reference 1.
A A A A
Log on to the workstation as root.
B B B B
Use the arp command to assign the IP address to the MAC address of the
Network Interface Board.
# arp -s 192.168.15.16 00:00:74:62:5C:65
Note
192.168.15.16 is the IP address, 00:00:74:62:5C:65 is the MAC address.
C C C C
Assign the IP address using the ping command.
# ping 192.168.15.16
D D D D
Use the ping command again to confirm the address.
7 # 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
- - How to Confirm the MAC Address
- -
The MAC address (Ethernet address) of the Network Interface Board is required
in order to use ARP and PING to assign the IP address.
The MAC address can be seen on the system configuration list.
Reference
For how to print the system configuration list, see Printer Reference 2.
Note
The MAC address can also be seen on the system configuration list. For more
information about the system configuration list, see p.119 "System Configu-
ration List (Network Configuration)".
