AEnter the following:

# ping 192.168.15.16

If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message ap- pears.

no answer from 192.168.15.16

Note

❒When you use NIS, the IP address and host name are written to /etc/hosts on the master server. When you use DNS, the information is written to a data file on the name server. After writing the host name and IP address to the file, confirm the configuration by pinging the host name.

# ping host_name

❒If the host name is registered with an IP address, the server can access the printer using its host name instead of its IP address.

Executing the Installation Shell Script

name: nphost and sample printer name: np.

Note

❒Use ftp to get the installation shell script from the printer.

ALog on to the workstation as root.
