HP 310X - Manual (Page 46)

Using RARP
for HP Jetdirect 175x external print server/Internet connector for USB
and HP Jetdirect 310x external print server/Internet connector for
USB
This subsection describes how to configure the print server using the
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) on UNIX and Linux
systems.
This setup procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your
system to respond to a RARP request from the print server and to
supply the IP address to the print server.
Switch off the print server. 1.
Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as a superuser. 2.
Make sure the RARP daemon is running on your system by
entering the following command at the system prompt:
ps -ef | grep rarpd (for Unix)
ps ax | grep rarpd (for BSD or Linux)
3.
The system response should be similar to the following:
861 0.00.2 24 72 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
860 0.00.5 36 140 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
4.
If the system does not display a process number for the RARP
daemon, see the rarpd man page for instructions on starting the
RARP daemon. 5.
Edit the /etc/hosts file to add your designated IP address
and node name for the print server. For example:
192.168.45.39 laserjet1
6.
Edit the /etc/ethers file ( /etc/rarpd.conf file in
HP-UX 10.20) to add the LAN hardware address (MAC or
station address), as shown on the
configuration page , and the
node name for the print server. For example:
00:01:E6:a8:b0:00 laserjet1
Note: If your system uses Network Information Service (NIS),
you need to incorporate changes to the NIS host and ethers
databases
