Follow the procedure below to make sure that the IP address has been configured correctly.

  • The following procedure uses the sample IP address: 192.168.15.16.

1Enter the following:

# ping 192.168.15.16

If the address has been configured correctly, the following message appears:

192.168.15.16 is alive

If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message appears:

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, make sure that the configuration is correct by pinging the host.

  • # 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.
