Using ARP in UNIX Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using ARP:

Type the following commands in the shell window:

Example:

The host will return

npsname is alive, or a similar message. This

indicates that the address has been set and that communication is

established.

Notes: ❏ If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply

replace the host name entry with the IP address in the example

above.

❏ The ARP command varies between different UNIX systems.

Some BSD type systems expect the host name and node address in

reverse order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will require the

additional argument ether. For example:

❏ When you execute the

ping command for the first time, you may

experience a significantly longer response time than is usual.

arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp

ping <host name>

arp -s npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp

ping npsname

arp -s ether <host name> 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
