HP ew2500 802.11b/g Print Server manual Use the arp and ping commands IPv4

In the example, <IP address> is the assigned address from RARP.

10.If ping does not respond, see Troubleshoot the HP Jetdirect print server on page 125.

Use the arp and ping commands (IPv4)

You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address using the arp command from a supported system. The workstation from which the configuration is made must be located on the same network segment as the HP Jetdirect print server.

NOTE: If you are configuring an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, this section assumes that a wireless network connection is established.

Using the arp and ping commands with HP Jetdirect print servers requires the following:

●Windows XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP operation

●Legacy default IP address of 192.0.0.192 on the print server

●LAN hardware (MAC) address of the HP Jetdirect print server, specified on an HP Jetdirect configuration page, or on a label attached to HP Jetdirect external print servers

NOTE: You might need root privileges to run the arp command.

After an IP address is assigned using the arp and ping commands, use other tools such as Telnet, the HP Embedded Web Server, or HP Web Jetadmin to configure other IP parameters.

To configure an HP Jetdirect print server, use the following commands:

arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware address>

ping <IP address>

The <IP address> is the desired IP address assigned to the print server, and <LAN hardware address> is the LAN hardware address of the print server. The arp command writes the entries to the arp cache on the workstation. The ping command configures the IP address on the print server.

The LAN hardware address can require a specific format, as in the following examples:

●Windows XP, Server 2003, or Server 2008

arp -s 192.168.45.39 00-01-E6-a2-31-98

ping 192.168.45.39

●For UNIX

arp -s 192.168.45.39 00:01:E6:a2:31:98

ping 192.168.45.39
