Emulex NQ0V-NT+ User Manual

 

 

When the Emulex printer server reboots, the default sequence of IP address 
acquisition is to attempt BootP first; if BootP fails, attempt DHCP; if DHCP 
fails, attempt RARP.  

1)  Determine if RARP is running on the UNIX host. 

BSD: 

> 

#ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd  

System V: 

> 

#ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd   

2)  Add the following entry in the file /etc/ethers or usr/etc/ethers: 

> 

#MAC_address server_name 

  The printer server’s MAC address. 

  The symbolic name. 

 

For example: 

> 

#00:00:c9:01:c1:a9 accounting_printer 

3)  Add the following entry in the file /etc/hosts (or usr/etc/hosts): 

> 

#IP_address server_name 

  The printer server IP address. 

  Must match the name entered in the /etc/ethers file.
