where the first entry is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and the second entry is the name of
the print server. (The name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file.)
If the RARP daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system, the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a,
in.rarpd -a, or another command; type man rarpd or see your system documentation for additional information).
To verify that the RARP daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX
ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
For AT&T UNIX
-based systems, type:
®
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
The Dell print server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the machine is powered on.
Configure the IP Address Using APIPA
The Dell print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. With APIPA, DHCP clients
automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. The device selects its
own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255. The subnet mask is automatically set to 255.255.0.0
and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0.
By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. To disable the APIPA protocol, use the machine's control panel, or Web
Based Management.
Configure the IP Address Using ARP
If your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command. The
ARP command is available on Windows
the following command:
arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress
ipaddress
Where ethernetaddress is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP
address of the print server.
For example:
Windows
systems
®
Windows
systems require the hyphen (dash) "-" character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet
®
Address).
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07
ping 192.168.1.2
UNIX
/Linux systems
®
Typically, UNIX
and Linux systems require the colon ":" character between each digit of the MAC Address
®
(Ethernet Address).
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07
ping 192.168.1.2
NOTE: You must be on the same Ethernet segment to use the ARP command, that is, there cannot be a router be-
tween the print server and operating system .
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods to enter the IP address . If your administrator has configured
the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP, your Dell print server can receive an IP address from
