Notes:
Setting the print
server’s IP address
using RARP in UNIX
Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using RARP:
1. Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is
typically located in the
/etc/ethers file:
Example:
2. Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases, as
required by your system.
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp
ping <host name>
arp -s npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping npsname
If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply replace the host
name entry with the IP address in the example above.
The ARP command varies between different UNIX systems. Some BSD type
systems expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Furthermore
IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether.
For example:
arp -s ether <host name> 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a
significantly longer response time than is usual.
<Ethernet address> <host name>
00:40:8c:10:00:86 npsname
