protocol) table to add a mapping from the IP address you want to assign to the print server’s Ethernet address. For many TCP/IP systems, this is done with a command of the form: arp -s ip-address ethernet-address

For example, to assign the address

202.39.74.40

to the print server with MAC address

00 80 C8 14 26 34

, use the command: arp -s 202.39.74.40 0080C8142634

Note: on a U

NIX

-based system, you will need to have superuser

( root

) permission to execute the arp

command.

3. From the host with the modified ARP table, send an ICMP echo request to the print server using the ping

command: ping 202.39.74.40

When the print server receives an ICMP request at its own

Ethernet address, but with a different IP address than the one it was expecting, it changes its IP address setting.

4. The print server will now respond to the new IP address. At this point you can use the telnet

interface (as described below) to change the host’s other settings.

Accessing the Telnet Interface

You can access your print server’s telnet

interface using an ordinary telnet

client program. On many systems, the command to invoke a telnet

client is: telnet ip-address
