In UNIX, Set the
IP Address Using
ARP
Note
3-6 Network Configuration
Perform the following commands to download the IP address
and verify the communication. The LAN hardware address is
located on the label attached underneath the HP CD-ROM
Server (or on the tower chassis). The LAN hardware address is
entered in pairs of digits separated by a colon. See the example
below:
arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware address> temp
ping <IP address>
Example:
arp -s 192.124.138.80 00:60:b0:11:00:86 temp
ping 192.124.138.80
The host will return a message similar to '
' which indicates that the address has been set and that
alive
communication is established.
The command may vary between different systems.
arp -s
Some BSD-type systems expect the IP address (or host
name) and LAN hardware address in reverse order. IBM
AIX systems require the additional argument
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 you
should expect a response time that is longer than usual. The
ping command is used to write the IP address to the
CD-ROM server.
Once the CD-ROM server has established communications
using an IP address, the
be used to change the address. This prevents accidental
or unauthorized change of the IP address. To allow the
CD-ROM server to accept a new IP address using ARP, you
must restart (power cycle) the CD-ROM server.
