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:

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

1. Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is

typically located in the

/etc/ethers file:

2. Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases,

as required by your system.

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

ping <host name>

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

ping npsname

• The Ethernet address is equal to the serial number, which is

located on the underside label of the AXIS 5470e.

• The ARP command varies between different UNIX systems. Some BSD

type systems expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Fur-

thermore IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether.

Example:

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

• When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experi-

ence a significantly longer response time than usual.

00:40:8c:10:00:86 npsname
