Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server Using ARP
To assign an IP address using the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP):
1. Determine the physical address and the device name of the print server.
The factory default name and the physical address are shown on a sticker on the bottom of the unit. The
default name on your device is PSxxxxxx.
2. Log in to the UNIX host as root.
3. Add the print server to the /etc/hosts file by adding to the file:
IP_Address NAME # Comment
Use these definitions for entering the information:
IP_Address is the IP address of your print server.
NAME is the name of your print server.
A sample entry is:
192.10.2.54 PS_Rm203 #Default name PS123456
In the example, a print server with an IP address of 192.10.2.54 is called PS_Rm203 and has a default name
of PS123456.
4. Compare the physical address with the IP address of the print server, using the ARP command as
follows:
arp -s NAME 00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz
Use these definitions for entering the information:
NAME is the name of your print server.
00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz is the physical address of the print server.
A sample entry is:
arp -s PS_Rm203 00:c0:02:12:34:56
5. To assure that an IP address has been assigned, check the IP address to MAC address association
using the ping command:
ping NAME
