where:
IP_Address is the IP address for the FastPrint Server. This must match the IP
address stored in the FastPrint Server.
NAME is the FastPrint’s name. This must match the name stored in the
FastPrint.
# comment. Add the Default Name as a comment.
example:
192.10.2.54 PS_Rm203 #Default name SC123456
In the example above, SC123456 is assigned the IP address 192.10.2.54 and
the name “PS_Rm203”.
4. Add the following entry to the Boot Table /etc/booptab
NAME:ht=ether:vm=rfc1024::ha=PA:ip=IP:sm=SM:gw=GW
where:
NAME is the FastPrint’s name.
PA is the physical address of the FastPrint.
IP is the FastPrint’s IP address.
SM is the subnet mask.
GW is the gateway IP address.
5. If it is not running, start the bootp daemon (the usual command is bootpd) and
then reset the FastPrint. It should then acquire an IP address using bootp.
6. If the FastPrint Server is not configured yet, you can now configure it using FTP.
(See page 37 for details.) Otherwise, check with the ping command:
ping NAME
You should receive a response. If you get a Timeout message, the above procedure
has failed.
5.3.2.3. Using RARP
1. Determine the physical address of the FastPrint from the default name shown on a
sticker on the base of the FastPrint. It will be in the form SCxxyyzz (SC followed by
6 hex numbers). If its name is SCxxyyzz, then the physical address is
00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz.
2. Login to the UNIX host as root.
3. Add the FastPrint to the /etc/hosts file by adding the following line to the file:
IP_Address NAME # comment
where:
IP_Address is the IP address for the FastPrint. This must match the IP
address stored in the FastPrint.
NAME is the FastPrint’s name. This must match the name stored in the
FastPrint.
# comment. Add the Default Name as a comment.
example:
192.10.2.54 PS_Rm203 #Default name SC123456
In the example above, SC123456 is assigned the IP address 192.10.2.54 and
the name “PS_Rm203”.
4. If the rarp daemon is not running, start it with the command:
rarpd -a
