ARP in UNIX
and OS/2
Follow these steps to download the IP address and verify the communication in
UNIX and OS/2:
1. Type the following command:
2. Ping the unit as follows:
Example:
The host will return
‘192.16.253.80 is alive’, or some similar message
to indicate that the address has been set and the communication is
established.
Notes:
Once StorPoint CD has established communication using an appropriate IP
address, the
arp command cannot be used to change the address. This is to
avoid accidental or unauthorized changes. However, if you restart your
StorPoint CD, you can change the IP address within one hour.
Please note that when you execute the ping command for the first time, you
may experience a significantly longer response time than is usual.
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the
acquired IP address. Refer to your system manuals or to the Network
Administrator for instructions on how to perform the name mapping on
your particular system.
The arp -s command may vary from system to system. Some BSD-type
systems expect the IP address and Hardware address in reverse order.
arp -s <IP address> <Hardware address> temp
ping <IP address>
arp -s 192.16.253.80 00:02:31:10:00:86 temp
ping 192.16.253.80
