PAGE 104
UNIX TCP/IP 4-1 Requirements Before beginning, verify the network conforms to these requirements: • Clients must support TCP/IP, TELNET, UDP or LPD. • Optional load hosts require TFTP, RARP or BootP protocols. • An EMLX subdirectory must be created. All work is done in the EMLX subdirectory. At this writing, the ENSTALL program supports installation of host utilities for the following operating environments: • AT&T SYSTEM V Rel. 3.2 and 4.0* • BULL B.O.S UNIX Rel. 2.00 • Data General DGux Rel.
PAGE 105
4-2 Chapter 4 * Pre-compiled binaries for these system types are included on the distribution media, the distribution files do not need to be compiled during ENSTALL. NOTE: Check the file entitled PROGRAM NAME on the UNIX Utilities diskette for the latest program changes. Before Installation We recommend writing down the following parameters from the Setup Section in Chapter 2. Refer to them during the installation procedure.
PAGE 106
UNIX TCP/IP 4-3 mount_point The directory path mount point for the CD-ROM drive. The tar command creates a subdirectory called emlx under the current working directory and extracts the UNIX utilities into the emlx directory. 5) Go to the Emlx directory: > #cd emlx 6) Enter: > #enstall -s When the enstall utility begins, follow the instructions and supply the requested information. When the ENSTALL program is complete, the Emulex printer server is ready to use.
PAGE 107
4-4 Chapter 4 When the ENSTALL utility begins, follow the instructions and supply the requested information. When the ENSTALL program is complete, the Emulex printer server is ready to use. Manual Installation IMPORTANT: This section contains advanced features. All parameters should be configured by the Network Administrator. Emulex recommends running the ENSTALL program instead of performing a manual installation.
PAGE 108
UNIX TCP/IP 4-5 Assign IP Address 1) Login to the UNIX host as root user. 2) Verify IP address availability. > #ping IP_address IP_address The desired IP address in decimal dot notation. You should not receive a response. If a response is received, select another IP address with the assistance of the network administrator. 3) Assign the IP address. > #arp -s IP_address MAC_address The printer server IP address in decimal dot notation.
PAGE 109
4-6 Chapter 4 5) Enter: > #ping IP_address IP_address The printer server IP address in decimal dot notation. NOTE: The command interrupt key (usually C) will stop the PING command. Assign Symbolic Name The user has the option of assigning a symbolic name to the Emulex printer server. To assign the name, perform these steps: 1) Login to the host. 2) Add this command to the file /etc/hosts (or /usr/etc/hosts). > #IP_address server_name IP_address serve_name The IP address just assigned.
PAGE 110
UNIX TCP/IP 4-7 BootP Emulex printer servers will accept and configure the following parameters from a TCP/IP BootP server host: • Gateway IP address(es) • Host IP address • Server Domain Name • Server IP address • Server Loadfile Path and Name • Server Node Name • Server Subnet Mask Any other BootP parameters supplied by a BootP server host will be ignored by the server code without any error indication. 1) Determine if BootP is running on the host.
PAGE 111
4-8 Chapter 4 4) Enter Emulex printer server command: > Server>> define server bootp n m [temp] n m temp The number of times to request BootP information if the server IP address is not known (default = 2). The number of times to request BootP information if the server IP address is known (default = 1). Instructs the server to configure the acquired information in RAM only. If this parameter is omitted, the information is permanently written in EAROM (default is permanent).
PAGE 112
UNIX TCP/IP 4-9 When the Emulex printer server reboots, the default sequence of IP address acquisition is to attempt BootP first; if BootP fails, attempt DHCP; if DHCP fails, attempt RARP. NOTE: Set the corresponding n and m parameters for BootP to zero. The host will then attempt DHCP immediately upon rebooting without attempting BootP. RARP 1) Determine if RARP is running on the UNIX host.
PAGE 113
4-10 Chapter 4 When the printer server is booted, the host receives the RARP request from the printer server. It then sends the IP address in the /etc/hosts file to the printer server and stores it in the printer server temporary memory. Configure the Print Queue The printer server provides remote printing via the Emulex RPRINT utility on all systems, and LPD on some platforms. ENSTALL automatically installs RPRINT and optionally supports LPD.
