Assigning an IP Address

Gleaning

A method by which the 10/100 Internal PS uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its hardware address.

Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) broadcasts.

To use this method, complete these steps:

1.Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (hardware) address.

The syntax for this command is:

arp -s "temporary ipaddress of print server" "MAC Address (print server hardware address)" arp -s <temporary ip address> <MAC Address>

Example • You would type:

arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-07-4d-68-1D-B9-86

2.Power cycle the printer.

3.As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.

Note • Most UNIX systems use a continuous ping.

To use a continuous ping from a Windows host, you must issue the command: ping -t "ipaddress".

4.When the 10/100 Internal PS begins to respond, stop the ping activity.

In Windows, Ctrl + C halts the pinging.

5.Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and gateway, if applicable.

6.Once this is complete, reset the 10/100 Internal PS.

For details on resetting the 10/100 Internal PS, see Reset on page 30.
