Print Server Installation Manual
Saving the IP Address Using the 'arp' and 'ping' Commands
If boot protocols are not implemented in your system, you can use
the 'arp' and 'ping' commands to save the IP address. The 'arp'
command is used for editing the ARP table.
The 'ping' command transfers a data packet containing the IP
address to the hardware address of the print server. If the data
packet has been successfully sent and received, the print server
permanently saves the IP address.
Proceed as follows:
1. Edit the ARP table:
Ethernet: arp -s <host name> <hardware
address>
Token Ring: arp -s 802.5 <host name><hardware address>
AIX: arp -s ether <host name> <hardware
address>
Example: arp -s IC0001FF 00:c0:eb:00:01:ff
This permanently saves the entry in the ARP table; in other words, the entry does
not expire and remains valid until the next time you turn on the UNIX computer.
2. As for internal print server models, turn the printer off and back
on.
As for external print server models, disconnect and reconnect
the power socket on the print server or turn the print server off
and back on.
3. Check whether the print server is available by means of TCP/IP:
Syntax: ping <host name>
Example: ping IC0001FF
