Using Rarp To Configure The Ip Address - Brother NC-9100h Network User's Manual

Using RARP to Configure the IP Address

The Brother Print/Fax server's IP address can be configured using
the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer. This is done
by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can
create it) with an entry similar to the following:
00:80:77:31:01:07
Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the Print/Fax server
and the second entry is the name of the Print/Fax server (the name
must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).
If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the
system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a
or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system
documentation for additional information). To verify that the rarp
daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the
following command:
ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
The Brother Print/Fax server will get the IP address from the rarp
daemon when the printer is powered on.
