ARP Table

The assignment of the IP address to the hardware address can be
done via the ARP table. The ARP table is an internal system file in
which the assignment is temporarily saved (about 15 min). This table
is administered by the ARP protocol.

By means of the 'arp' and 'ping' commands, you can save the IP
address in the print server. If the print server already has an IP
address, the 'arp' and 'ping' commands cannot be used to save a new
IP address.

However, an IP address from the address range (169.254.0.0/16)
which is reserved for ZeroConf can be overwritten by means of the
'arp' and 'ping' commands.

Use the 'arp' and 'ping' commands to save the IP address if your network
has no superordinate management of IP addresses (e.g. DHCP, BOOTP).

The 'arp' command is used for editing the ARP table. The 'ping'
command transfers a data packet containing the IP address to the
hardware address of the print server. If the data packet has been
successfully sent and received, the print server permanently saves
the IP address.

The implementation of the 'arp' and 'ping' command depends on the
system used. Read the documentation for your operating system.
