ARP in UNIX
and OS/2
Notes:
AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User's Manual
Follow these steps to download the IP address and verify the communication in
UNIX and OS/2:
1. Type the following command:
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> temp
2. Ping the unit as follows:
ping <IP address>
Example:
arp -s 192.16.253.80 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping 192.16.253.80
The host will return '
to indicate that the address has been set and the communication is
established.
Once the StorPoint CD has established communication using an


appropriate IP address, the
address. This is to avoid accidental or unauthorized changes. However, if
you restart the StorPoint CD, you can change the IP address within one
hour.
Please note that when you execute the


may experience a significantly longer response time than is usual.
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the


acquired IP address. Refer to your system manuals or to the Network
Administrator for instructions on how to perform the name mapping on
your particular system.
The command may vary from system to system. Some BSD-type

arp -s
systems expect the IP address and Ethernet address in reverse order, whereas
IBM AIX systems require the additional argument
arp -s ether <IP address> 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
