Using rarp to assign IP Address
The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (rarp) allows network devices to query a server for their IP
addresses on start-up. This procedure requires a workstation with a rarp server.
To store the IP address, use the following procedure:
1.
Turn off the print controller and the main body printer.
2.
Log in as superuser on the rarp server.
If the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the
print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network.
3.
Find the MAC address of the network interface card. The address is printed on the Status Page
when you power on the print controller and the main body printer.
4.
Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP Address and node name
of the network interface card.
See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a network interface card with
the name of printfast has the following entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5.
Edit the /etc/ethers file or use NIS or DIS to add the MAC address.
To continue the example, for the printfast card with an MAC address of 00:40:c8:00:00:ff,
make the following entry:
0:40:c8:0:0:ff printfast
6.
If the rarp daemon is running, stop it and restart it. Verify that the daemon is running.
7.
Check the print controller to see that the network interface card is connected to the network.
Turn on the print controller and the main body printer.
8.
Wait until the print controller and the main body printer power up and finish initializing to
allow enough time for the IP address to become known and to be saved in nonvolatile memory.
The network interface card should then reset itself.
9.
After the network interface card has reset, send a ping command to verify that the print server
obtained its IP address. For example:
ping 192.9.200.200
If the print server has the address, a confirmation message displays:
192.9.200.200 is alive
10.
Remove your changes to the /etc/ethers file.
11.
Stop the rarp daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.
