4 Start the bootp daemon (if it isn’t already running). Usually,
the command is
bootpd↵
However, this command is system dependent. Consult your sys-
tem documentation.
5 Restart the printer to download the Internet address, default
router (gateway) address, and subnet mask.
The rarp Protocol
The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (rarp) is a low-level trans-
port layer protocol that reads the Internet address at printer startup.
The following procedure explains how to use rarp to set the printer’s
Internet address:
1 If necessary, update the system host table by adding the fol-
lowing line to the /etc/ hosts file:
internetaddress hostname ↵
where
internetaddress is the Internet address of the printer
and
hostname is the name of the host.
2 If necessary, update your alias name databases (Yellow
Pages and YP/NIS).
Use the cd /var/yp and make commands.
3 Add the following line to the Ethernet Address table (usually,
the /etc/ethers file) on your host:
xx : xx : xx : xx : xx : xx name ↵
where
xx : xx : xx : xx : xx : xx is the hardware address of the
printer and
name is the printer name.
4 Start the rarp daemon (if it isn't already running). Usually, the
command is
rarpd -a↵
However, this command is system dependent. Consult your sys-
tem documentation.
