switch and power on the system.
Note – RARP might not work properly if you have connected the ethernet port of
the FC switch to an Ethernet switch; this is due to the long time it might take for the
Ethernet switch to transmit the RARP. In such a case you can use the management
GUI to change the IP address. See the Sun Switch Management User’s Manual.
10. Power off the switch and then power it back on.
11. Verify the switch IP address.

12. If the RARP daemon has started, return to the window in which the daemon was

Perform the Control-C key sequence to the stop the daemon operation.
Note – The IP address setting for the switch that you obtain using RARP is not a
permanent setting until RARP is disabled.
▼ To Make the IP Address Setting Permanent
Refer to the SANsurfer Switch Management chapter of the SANbox 8/16 Switch
Management User’s Manual. See the Network Configuration Window section and the
Static IP Address Radio Button for information on enabling / disabling RARP via
the GUI
