UNIX TCP/IP 4-9

When the Emulex printer server reboots, the default sequence of IP address acquisition is to attempt BootP first; if BootP fails, attempt DHCP; if DHCP fails, attempt RARP.

NOTE: Set the corresponding n and m parameters for BootP to zero. The host will then attempt DHCP immediately upon rebooting without attempting BootP.

RARP

1)Determine if RARP is running on the UNIX host. BSD:

> #ps -ax grep -v grep grep rarpd

System V:

>#ps -ef grep -v grep grep rarpd

2)Add the following entry in the file /etc/ethers or usr/etc/ethers:

>#MAC_address server_name

MAC_address The printer server’s MAC address. server_name The symbolic name.

For example:

>#00:00:c9:01:c1:a9 accounting_printer

3)Add the following entry in the file /etc/hosts (or usr/etc/hosts):

>#IP_address server_name

IP_address The printer server IP address.

server_name Must match the name entered in the /etc/ethers file.

NOTE: If the /etc/hosts file is administered by NIS (formerly Yellow Pages), update the appropriate NIS master hosts database instead. Refer to host documentation for more information.
