ETHERNET PRINT SERVERS HIGH SPEED AND 4-PORT
2. Invoke the bootp daemon by typing:
bootpd -s
Once you have created an IP address (and you are running TCP/IP only),
using bootp or nsconfig is the only way to change the IP address.
You are finished configuring the Ethernet Print Server's IP address and
other parameters. Skip to Section 6.3, Printing with lpd. If you prefer host-
side printing, go to Section 6.4, Installing TCP/IP for Ethernet Print Server if
Not Running lpd.
Configuring the IP Address with ping
You can use ping to give the Ethernet Print Server its IP address. To do so,
you must add an entry to the arp (Address Resolution Protocol) cache to let
the host map the IP address to the Ethernet address (printed on the bottom
of the Ethernet Print Server unit). The arp command is:
arp -s 192.9.200.200
00:40:af:03:ae:20
Now connect the Ethernet Print Server to its Ethernet drop and ping it
either by name or by its IP address. For example, type:
ping dpifast
or
ping 192.9.200.200
The Ethernet Print Server should read its IP address from the ping packets.
The ping command will return, "no answer from dpifast." When the unit has
read its IP address, it will reset. Wait a few minutes and try to ping the
Ethernet Print Server again. Ping should respond with a confirmation
message.
Once you have created an IP address (and you are running TCP/IP only),
using bootp or nsconfig are the only ways to change the IP address—
ping cannot be used to do this.
Configuration is done, go to the next page or, for host-side printing, see
Section 6.4, Installing TCP/IP for Ethernet Print Server if not Running lpd.
