Section 2: Basic Installation
Using ARP in UNIX
Notes:
26
Please note that when you execute the ping command for the first
time, you will experience a significantly longer response time than
is usual.
The command is advised so that the Internet to Ethernet
arp -d
address information is stored as a dynamic parameter within the
host's cache memory. Failure to execute this command will mean
that the mapping is static and consequently installed permanently
on the host.
You may also use the ARP method for downloading the Internet
address within a UNIX environment.
Type the following commands:
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp
ping <host name>
Example
arp -s npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping npsname
The host will return
This indicates that the address has been set and the communication is
established.
The ARP command can vary between different UNIX systems.
Some BSD type systems expect the host name and the node
address in reverse order. Furthermore, IBM AIX systems will
require the additional argument
arp -s ether npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
Please note that when you execute the ping command for the first
time, you may experience a significantly longer response time
than is usual.
