Using ARP in
UNIX and OS/2
In UNIX and OS/2, type the following commands to download the
IP address and verify the communication:
The
Ethernet address
or
node address
equals the AXIS 700 serial
number with each pair of digits separated by a colon.
Example:
The host will return
‘spserv is alive’
or a similar message. This
indicates that the address has been set and that communication is
established.
Notes:
o The
arp -s command may vary between different systems. Some
BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in
reverse order. IBM AIX systems require the additional argument
ether
for Ethernet networks, e.g.
arp -s ether spserv
00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
o Once the AXIS 700 has established communications using an
appropriate IP address, the arp/ping commands can be used to
change the address only for 30 minutes. From then on it is locked
until you restart your AXIS 700. The reason is to avoid accidental
or unauthorized change of the IP address. Restart the AXIS 700 to
make it accept the setting. You can perform a restart remotely via
the AXIS 700 web interface. See “Specifying System Settings ”on
page 46.
o When you execute the
ping command for the first time, the
response time may be significantly longer than usual.
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet or node address> temp
ping <host name>
arp -s spserv 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
ping spserv
