Fujitsu 9045 user manual Using ARP, Aix -sether ipaddress Macaddress, Unix PrintNet Configuration

Chapter 4 Unix PrintNet Configuration

Using ARP

To configure the Ethernet Interface with its TCP/IP settings using a manual “arp” command, the syntax is:

arp -sipaddress ethernetaddress

For the “aix” command, the syntax is:

aix -sether ipaddress Mac_address

To use either of these commands:

1.Log on to a Unix station as superuser or root. This station must be located on the same subnet as the PrintNet since ARP is limited to subnets.

2.Find the Ethernet address for the PrintNet by printing a configuration or reading it from the control panel. It must be entered as part of this procedure.

3.Use the “arp” command to add an entry into the Unix station ARP table for this PrintNet. Here is the most common syntax for this command:

arp -sipaddress ethernetaddress

Example for Microsoft TCP stacks:

arp -s 192.75.11.9 00:80:72:07:00:60

This example specifies a PrintNet using IP address 192.75.11.9 and Ethernet address 00:80:72:07:00:60.

4. Verify that the ARP entry was properly applied.

arp -a

You should see an entry in the listed ARP table with the IP address and Ethernet address specified in Step 3.

5.Try to “ping” this IP address to see if the PrintNet can be seen on your network.
