4.
Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add
the IP address and print server’s node name. See the network
administrator for the IP address. For example, you would type
in the following for a NIC with a name of printfast and an IP
address of 192.9.200.200:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5.
Add an entry to the arp cache for the Print Server’s IP address
and MAC Address. For example:
#arp -s 192.9.200.200 00:20:6b:aa:bb:cc
6.
Check the printer to see that the NIC is connected to the net-
work. Turn on the printer.
7.
Send a ping command the NIC.
For example:
#ping 192.9.200.200
or
#ping printfast
The NIC will not respond to this ping command but it will read
its IP address from the packets.
8.
Turn the printer off and back on again and then send the ping
command again to verify that the print server obtained its IP
address. If the NIC has the address, the result is a confirmation
message:
192.9.200.200 is alive
9.
Remove the entry from the arp cache using the following com-
mand. Specify the NIC either by its IP address or by its name.
For example:
#arp -d printfast
