in UNIX

• ARP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator
using the System Settings page.

BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in
reverse order. IBM AIX systems require the additional argument
for Ethernet networks, e.g.

00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
• Once the AXIS 7000/FX has established communication using an
appropriate IP address, the

change of the IP address. Restart the AXIS 7000/FX to make it accept
the setting. You can perform a restart remotely via the AXIS 7000/FX
web interface. See "Specifying the System Settings "on page 36.

typically performed by editing the file
<Ethernet address>
Example:
00:40:8c:24:c0:1c
2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as
required by your system.
3. Start the RARP daemon, if it is not already running. This is typically
performed using the command
