• The ARP command varies between different UNIX systems. Some BSD
type systems expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Fur-
thermore IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether.
Example:
arp -s ether <host name> 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
• When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experi-
ence a significantly longer response time than usual.

1. Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is
typically located in the
