TCP/IP Configuration 64

Using RARP

This section describes how to configure the print server using the 
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) on UNIX and Linux 
systems.

This setup procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your 
system to respond to a RARP request from the HP Jetdirect print 
server and to supply the IP address to the print server. 

1. Turn the printer off.

2. Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as a superuser.

3. Make sure the RARP daemon is running on your system by 

typing the following command at the system prompt:

ps -ef | grep rarpd

 (Unix)

ps ax | grep rarpd

 (BSD or Linux)

4. The system response should be similar to the following:

861 0.00.2  24  72  5  14:03  0:00  rarpd -a

860 0.00.5  36 140  5  14:03  0:00  rarpd -a

5. If the system does not display a process number for the RARP 

daemon, see the rarpd man page for instructions on starting the 
RARP daemon.

6. Edit the /etc/hosts file to add your designated IP address and 

node name for the HP Jetdirect print server. For example: 

192.168.45.39 laserjet1
