Using ARP in UNIX
Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using ARP:
Type the following commands in the shell window:
Example:
The host will return
npsname is alive,
or a similar message. This
indicates that the address has been set and that communication is
established.
Notes:
❏ If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply
replace the host name entry with the IP address in the example
above.
❏ The ARP command varies between different UNIX systems.
Some BSD type systems expect the host name and node address in
reverse order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will require the
additional argument ether. For example:
❏ When you execute the
ping
command for the first time, you may
experience a significantly longer response time than is usual.
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp
ping <host name>
arp -s npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping npsname
arp -s ether <host name> 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
