CONFIGURING THE M204 FOR TCP/IP: M204 Configuration 27

To conﬁgure the M204 with RARP, you need to:

1 Make an entry in the /etc/ethers ﬁle for the new M204.

00:80:72:00:AB:CD spike

entry for the M204 named spike which has this Ethernet address.

2 Start the RARP daemon if it isn’t running. Send a HUP signal to it with the kill

command:

kill -HUP pid

3 Reboot the M204. After the STAT LED ﬂashes regularly, wait another ten seconds

to allow the RARP process to complete.

4 Test the new IP address by trying a ping with the new IP name:

ping

ipname

5 [Optional, but recommended] At this point, set up the user passwords. Please see

set user on page 104.

If no response is given by the M204, the RARP process probably failed. Reboot the

unit and try one of the other methods mentioned in this section.

Manual Conﬁguration Through the Network with BOOTP

BOOTP is a protocol for conﬁguring the M204 as it boots. During the boot sequence,

the Print Server can broadcast a BOOTP request and if a BOOTP server is running on

the network conﬁgured to respond to the requesting device, it will provide the M204

with its IP address, netmask, default router, and a time server from which to query the

current time (GMT) and the timezone in which the M204 is located.

By default, the Print Server will broadcast a BOOTP request when it boots. The fol-

lowing command can be used to control this request:

store tcpip

ifnum

opts [[-]rarp] [[-]bootp]

On the BOOTP server, there must be an entry in /etc/bootptab similar to this:

Example

1 2 ... 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 ... 203 204
