7.5 Changing an existing IP Address

Should the print server be installed in different networks with differing IP addresses, then it could be

possible that the saved print server’s IP address is no longer recognised.

In order to save a new print server IP address permanently you can choose from three possibilities:

1. Change in the configuration file

2. Re-entry into the ARP table

3. Change via boot protocols

1. Change of the configuration file

Load the configuration file via

ftp

. Change the

ip_address

parameter with an editor. Save the

configuration file on the print server.

2. Re-entry into the ARP table

Switch off the print server. Delete all print server entries from the boot protocols (DHCP/BOOTP or

RARP) and the ARP protocol configuration files to avoid that the print server gets an IP address

assigned from the boot protocol after being switched on.

Now enter the new IP address into the

/etc/hosts

file. Change the ARP table by entering the

ARP protocol again.

Enter the

ping

command and switch on the print server which will now get a new IP address.

✔✔

The ip_autoconf parameter must be switched on.

3. Change by boot protocol

Change the configuration file of the boot protocol by entering the new IP address. Restart the boot

protocol and switch on the print server.
