UNIX:
To assign the IP address in UNIX by using the arp command,
perform the commands shown below.
Using ARP
Note
Example:
The host will return a message similar to "192.124.138.80 is
alive", indicating that the address has been set and that
communication with the server is established.
Note
Restart the server (cycle its power).
The <LAN-address> can be found on the LAN Address label on
the server or (top of) the tower; each pair of digits must be
separated by a colon.
arp -s <IP-address> <LAN-address> temp
ping <IP-address>
arp -s 192.124.138.80 00:60:b0:11:00:86 temp
ping 192.124.138.80
The arp -s command may vary between different systems.
Some BSD-type systems expect the IP address (or host name)
and LAN address in reverse order. IBM AIX systems require
the additional argument ether for Ethernet networks, for
example:
arp -s ether salesdept 00:60:b0:11:00:86 temp
When you execute the ping command for the first time, the
response time may be longer than usual. The ping command
enables the server to assign itself the address.
You may set (and change) the IP address using this method only
in the approximately one half hour immediately following
startup in the factory-default state. This inhibits accidental or
unauthorized IP address changes after this period.
