Section 3: Installing and Configuring the Print Server

❏When you execute the ping command for the first time, you will experience a significantly longer response time than usual.

❏It’s best to use the arp -dcommand so that the Internet to Ethernet address information is stored as a dynamic parameter in the host’s cache memory. If you don’t use arp-d, mapping is static and permanently installed on the host.

Using ARP in UNIX You can also use ARP to download the Internet address in a UNIX environment.

Type the following commands:

arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp ping <host name>

Example

arp -s npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp ping npsname

The host returns a message similar to the following: npsname is alive. This indicates that the address has been set and communication is established.

Notes: ❏ The ARP command can vary between different UNIX systems. Some BSD type systems expect the host name and the node address in reverse order. Also, IBM AIX systems require the additional argument ether. For example:

arp -s ether npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp

❏When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response time than usual.
