To use ARP to resolve addresses in Windows:
1 You must first place the MAC address of the router being set up into your computer’s
ARP cache using the following command:
arp -s IP address 00:50:13:fx-xx-xx.
In this command, 00-50-13-fx-xx-xx is the router’s unique MAC address, and IP
address is the IP address you or your LAN system administrator have chosen to use
as the IP address for the router.
This ARP command adds a static MAC- to-IP address binding to your computer. For
example, if you wanted to bind the router with the factory MAC address of 00-50-13-
f0-10-00 to the IP address 169.205.7.22, you should type arp –s 169.205.7.22 00-50-
13-f0-10-00.
2 After entering the MAC address-to-IP address mapping into your computer’s ARP
cache, you can issue the command ping 169.205.7.22 to send a request to the router.
If the router addressed by the ping command does not respond, check the LAN
connection on the router. If the ping command addressed to the router was
successful, use Telnet to access the router using the IP address you just configured
(for example, 169.205.7.22). Once connected through Telnet, the router’s IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway can be set up through menus described in
Configuring the Router’s Network Settings on page 3-5 .
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Configuration
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol designed to make IP
address assignment dynamic and automatic. When a router is configured in DHCP mode,
it generates a request for an IP address. The address is provided to the router and can be
used from that point forward. See
Accessing the Router Administrator Using the Ethernet
Port on page 3-3 for accessing the Router Administrator software through the Ethernet
port, including enabling DHCP.
In the dynamic address assignment mode, an IP address are leased to a DHCP-configured
router. You should ask your system administrator to configure your network so the router
can use DHCP, and host name you have assigned to the router.
Accessing the Router
Administrator Using the Ethernet Port on page 3-3 presents configuring the router host
name and the default host names for which the router has been configured.
In the event you configure your router to DHCP and do not know which IP address was
assigned automatically, you can use ARP to discover which IP address was assigned to the
router by the DHCP server.
Note: UNIX users see MAN Pages for ARP in your OS.
