IP Address Assignment
4-9
♦
If you are getting a response, but the MonarchNet LED is still blinking
green, power down the print server and try the ping again. There might be
a different device answering to the ping.
♦
Verify the MonarchNet print server is on the same subnet as the computer
running the ping.
♦
The glean will not work if the MonarchNet print server has already
defaulted to an IP address two minutes after power up. The LED will turn
solid green and the device will print a configuration page. Turn the printer
off and then back on. Try the glean again.
BOOTP
If you are using a BOOTP server and the MonarchNet is not getting an IP
address, check the following:
♦
Verify the BOOTP configuration files are correctly set up.
(“/etc/bootptab”). Verify the files have the correct hardware address of the
MonarchNet.
UNIX BOOTP
If you are running UNIX, try the following methods with the BOOTP server
(check the documentation for your particular UNIX flavor).
♦
Verify the BOOTP server has reread the “/etc/bootptab” file when the new
entry was added. If the BOOTP server was running when you added the
new entries, the server might not have reread the new
bootptab file. Try
sending the SIGHUP signal to the running BOOTP server. For example,
kill -HUP
BOOTP servers support this option. Check your local BOOTP
documentation. If this does not work, restart the BOOTP server (kill and
restart the process).
♦
Some BOOTP servers will write their internal bootptab tables to a file
when they receive a SIGUSR1 signal. You can check this file to verify the
hardware and IP address are correct. You can use the kill command to
send signals. For example, kill -USR1
documentation for more information.
♦
Check the system’s syslog file. Some BOOTP servers will write error
messages into the syslog file.
