Using ARP in
UNIX and OS/2
Follow these steps to download the IP address and verify the
communication:
1. Type the following command:
2. Ping the unit as follows:
Example:
The host will return 
camserv is alive,
or some similar
message to indicate that the address has been set and the
communication is established.
Notes:
Please note that when you execute the ping command for the first
time, you may experience a significantly longer response time
than is usual.
The arp -s command may vary from system to system. Some
BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in
reverse order, whereas IBM AIX systems require the additional
argument
ether. For example:
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp
ping <host names>
arp -s camserv 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping camserv
arp -s ether <host name> 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
