7.2.4 RARP

The procedure below enables the RARP daemon running on your system to
respond to a RARP request from the print server and to assign the IP address to
the print server.
1. Login the RARP server's host as the superuser (root).
2. Assign a name corresponding to the print server's IP address. You can add
this address to the /etc/hosts file by typing a line such as:
203.66.191.12 pserver
3. Add the Ethernet address and the host name for the print server to the
/etc/ethers file by typing a line such as:
00:00:B4:01:01:01 pserver
The print server's Ethernet address is the Node ID located on the print
server.
4. If your system uses Network Information Services (NIS), you will need to
make changes to the NIS host.
5. Check if the RARP daemon is running using the ps and grep commands. If
the RARP daemon is not running on your host, type rarpd -a to run the
RARP server.

7.3 Verify the Print Server's IP Address

To verify that your print server is responding to the newly assigned IP address, type
in a PING command:
ping ip-address
