Unable to Assign IP Address

Gleaning

If you ping the device and are not getting a response, the glean is not working. Check the following possible problems:

•Verify that the ARP table contains the correct hard- ware and IP address by running the ‘arp -a’ com- mand.

•If you are getting a response, but the Network Print Server LED is still blinking green, power down the print server and try the ping again. There might be a different device answering to the ping.

•Verify that the Network Print Server is on the same subnet as the computer running the ping.

•The glean will not work if the Network Print Server has already defaulted to an IP address two minutes after power up. The LED will turn solid green and the device will print a configuration page. Power cycle the device and try the glean again.

RARP or BOOTP

If you are using a BOOTP or RARP server and the Network Print Server is not getting an IP address, check the following:

•Verify that the BOOTP/RARP configuration files are correctly set up (“/etc/ethers” and “/etc/hosts” for RARP and “/etc/bootptab” for BOOTP). Verify that the files have the correct hardware address of the Network Print Server. If using RARP, check that the hostnames are the same between the “/etc/ ethers” and “/etc/hosts” files.
