Kodak 3H0610, Kodak 10/100 Network Interface Card Setting the IP Address Using Arp and Telnet

U N I X

Unix Environment

¥Set a static ARP entry. Make a telnet connection to port 2002, then set the IP address with your Unix workstation. You must be on the same subnet as the printer/NIC.

¥Dynamic methods, RARP, BOOTP and DHCP, can also be used to allow the NIC to use an unused IP address each time the printer is power cycled. RARP is limited to use on the same subnet as the NIC. BOOTP and DHCP can be used in larger networks across routers. Consult your Unix system documentation for the use and syntax of RARP, BOOTP and DHCP.

¥Run the install script distributed on the Unix diskette. Refer to Section 10.3, Printer/NIC Setup using the Install Script, for details.

¥Additional methods for setting an IP address from non-Unix platforms are covered in Chapter 3, FastManage, and Chapter 9, Apple/ Macintosh Environments.

10.1.1Setting the IP Address Using Arp and Telnet

Arp and Telnet work only if the device is on the same subnet as the host.

Once an IP address is set, you cannot change it using Òarp.Ó You must use a NIC conÞguration utility to change it unless you reset the NIC to factory defaults.

To add a printer named ÒkodakÓ with an IP address Ò123.4.5.6Ó and an Ethernet address of Ò00:40:c8:01:02:ABÓ:

1.Set NIC mode switches in Telnet mode (D1 up, D2 down) then power cycle the printer.

2.Add an Ò<IP Addr> <Name>Ó line, (i.e. 123.4.5.6 kodak) to the /etc/ hosts Þle.

3.Use one of the following arp commands to set the static arp entry for a host on the same subnet as the device:

arp -s ether kodak 0:40:C8:1:2:AB (no leading zeros on RS-6000 systems)

arp -s kodak 0:40:C8:1:2:AB (no leading zeros on most Unix systems)

arpbypass set kodak 0X00.0X40.0XC8.0X01.0X02.0XAB (AT&T and NCR)
