Using Configuration Utilities

Using rarp to Configure the IP Address

You can configure the NIC IP address using the reverse ARP (rarp) utility on the host computer. To use rarp, edit the /etc/ethers file with an entry similar to the following. If the file does not exist, you can create it.

00:40:17:00:01:07 KOD_000107

The first entry is the Ethernet address of the NIC print server, and the second entry is the name of the NIC.

NOTE: The name must be the same as the one you entered in the /etc/hosts file.

If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it by using one of the following commands:

rarpd

rarpd -a in.rarpd -a

NOTE: Refer to the system’s documentation for more information about starting the rarp daemon.

To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley Unix system, type the following command:

ps -ax I grep -v grep I grep rarpd

For At&T UNIX systems, type the following command:

ps -ef I grep -v grep I grep rarpd

The NIC will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is powered on.

Using BOOTP to Configure the IP Address

BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that allows configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. To use BOOTP to configure the IP address into the NIC, make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer. It should appear in the /etc/ services file on your host as a real service.

BOOTP is usually started from the /etc/inetd.conf file. To enable it, remove the # in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd. Conf file would be:

#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -1
