If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system
the command can be
rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or
something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation
for additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a
Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command:
ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
The Brother print server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when
it is powered on.
Using BOOTP to Configure the IP Address
BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing
configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to
configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on
your host computer (it should appear in the
/etc/services file on your
host as a real service; type man bootpd or refer to your system
documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the
/etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the
"#" in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical
bootp entry in the
/etc/inetd.conf file would be:
#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i
✒ Note
Depending on the system, this entry might be called “bootps” instead of
“bootp”.
In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the "#" (if there is
no "#", then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP
configuration file (usually
/etc/bootptab ) to enter the name, network
type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address (which can be found on the label on
the Brother print server), and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of
the print server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not
standardized, so you will need to refer to your system documentation to
determine how to enter this information (many UNIX systems also have
template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference).
Some examples of typical
/etc/bootptab entries include:
BRO_000107 1 00:40:17:00:01:07 192.189.207.3
and:
BRO_000107:ht=ethernet:ha=004017000107:\
ip=192.189.207.3:
