Using DHCP
3–24
Step 4 At the command prompt, type the following command:
arp -a
You see information about the pinged host (and other hosts with which you have
communicated). Figure 3-10 shows an example of the information produced from
the arp command after a host has been pinged.
Figure 3-10 Ping and ARP commands executed to host 10.10.8.140.
Step 5 In the Internet Address column, find the IP address of the host you pinged. The
MAC address for the host is the 12-digit hexadecimal number listed in the adjacent
Physical Address column. For Figure 3-10, the MAC address of the pinged host
(10.10.8.140) is 00-01-f0-ff-ff-12.
Using DHCP on a JACE-4/5
The following things should be noted about using DHCP on a JACE-4/5:
• The JACE-4/5 DHCP client has been tested against the Windows NT and
Windows 2000 Server DHCP implementations only. However, there are no
known incompatibilities with other DHCP servers.
• The DHCP server must be configured to provide the JACE with the following
information:
– IP address
– subnet mask
– DNS server list
– DNS domain name
– default gateway
• The JACE cannot receive its host name from the DHCP server.
