Configuring the IP Address Using ARP-Ping
20
•
That the Digi device has DHCP client turned on. This is the default
setting and it will be on unless it was turned off.
•
That you do not have a DHCP server to serve IP address. If you do,
use the DHCP procedure. See "Configuring an IP Address using
DHCP and RARP" on page 22.
•
That you have installed Digi Port Authority-Remote version 2.01.11
or later. For information on installing Digi Port Authority-Remote, see
the Digi Port Authority Remote Device Monitor Setup Guide, which
is on the Software and Documentation CD.
Procedure
1. Run Digi Port Authority-Remote.
2. If Digi Port Authority-Remote is not set for ADDP, choose ADDP as the
Discovery Protocol.
3. Click Discover.
A list of Digi devices appears. Systems with IP addresses of 0.0.0.0 need
IP addresses.
4. Select a device from the list and then click Configure.
5. Supply an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway and then
choose OK.
Digi Port Authority-Remote configures the IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway.
Use this section to configure an IP address by manually updating a
server's ARP table and then pinging the Digi device.
Note:
The ARP-Ping command assigns the IP address you designate but also
assigns default subnet mask and gateway addresses. It is necessary to
change the subnet mask and gateway addresses.
Starting Point
This procedure assumes the following:
•
That your Digi device supports this feature. See "Device Support:
Digi Port Authority-Remote and ARP-Ping for IP Address Configura-
tion" on page 19.
•
That your Digi device is connected to the Ethernet network
Procedure
1. Record the MAC address of the Digi device. It's on the back of the unit.
2. Access a server on the same subnet as the Digi device.
3. Manually update the server's ARP table using the Digi device's MAC
address and the IP address you want assigned to the Digi device. The
following is an example of how this is done on a Windows NT 4.0
system:
arp -s 143.191.2.1 00-00-9d-22-23-60
