AXIS 850/950 User's Manual
• rarp – downloads the Internet address to each device
automatically. Requires a rarp daemon on your system and
operates within a single network segment only,
• bootp – similar to rarp, but operates on the entire network.
Requires a bootp daemon on your system.
Choose the method most suited to your needs. If needed, the rarp and
bootp methods can be disabled by editing the
parameters as described in section 5.

Perform the following commands to down-load the Internet address
and verify the communication (the Ethernet address or node address
equals the serial number found at the back of the Axis CD-ROM
server with each pair of digits separated by a colon, see example
below):
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet or node address> temp
ping <host name>
Example:
arp -s cdserv 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
ping cdserv
The host will return '
address has been set, and that communication is established.
The command may vary between different systems. Some
arp -s
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.
ether
00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
(e.g.
arp -s 802.5 salesdept 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
When you execute the ping command for the first time you
should expect a response time significantly longer than usual.
