8. Determine whether the RARP daemon is running by typing:
9. If RARP is not running, start the RARP daemon in the Solaris software
environment by typing:
The IP address will now automatically download to the switch after you install the
switch and power on the system.
Note – RARP might not work properly if you have connected the ethernet port of
the FC switch to an Ethernet switch; this is due to the long time it might take for the
Ethernet switch to transmit the RARP. In such a case you can use the management
tools to change the IP address. See the documents that came with your switch.
10. Power off the switch and then power it back on.
11. Verify the switch IP address.
For example:
12. If the RARP daemon has started, return to the window in which the daemon was
activated.
Perform the Control-C key sequence to the stop the daemon operation.
Note – The IP address setting for the switch that you obtain using RARP is not a
permanent setting until RARP is disabled.
# ps -eaf | grep rarpd
# /usr/sbin/in.rarpd -ad
# ping <ip-address>
