Please log-in as a privileged user (root) into a computer located on the same network as the print
server. The system now prompts #.
7.3.1 Updating the /etc/hosts File
Go to the directory /etc and insert a line into the /etc/hosts file. This line should contain the allocation
between the Internet address and the hostname of the print server host.
<Internet address> <Hostname>
In our example, the line would be:
192.0.0.123 IC0001FF
7.3.2 Updating the Internal ARP System Table
If neither the BOOTP service nor the RARP service is activated, please enter the hostname of the print
server and its hardware address in the ARP table using the following command line:
# arp -s <Hostname> <Hardware address>
In our example, the line would be:
# arp -s IC0001FF 00:c0:eb:00:01:ff
This entry is now saved in the ARP table permanently. This means that this entry is available until
your UNIX computer is booted again.
On IBM´s AIX (Ethernet) operating system, the ARP command has the following format:
# arp -s ether <Hostname> <Hardware address>
In our example, the line would be:
# arp -s ether IC0001FF 00:c0:eb:00:01:ff
For an installation to a Token Ring network, please refer to your system’s manual pages concerned
with
arp
.
The installation of the print server as a TCP/IP Host is now complete. Connect the print server to your
network and switch on the print server.
Use the
ping
command to check if the print server is addressable under TCP/IP. Please type in the
following command:
# ping <Hostname>
In our example the command would be:
# ping IC0001FF
