Using ARP in UNIX and OS/2
Type the following commands to download the Internet address and
verify the communication:
Example:
The Ethernet address or node address equals the serial number found
on the underside label of the CD/DVD Server with each pair of digits
separated by a colon.
The host will return 'cdserv is alive' or similar message. This indicates
that the address has been set and that communication is established.
Notes:
§
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 salesdept
0:40:8c:11:00:86 temp).
§
Once the CD/DVD Server has established communications using
an appropriate Internet address, the arp/ping commands cannot
be used to change the address. The reason is to avoid accidental
or unauthorized change of the Internet address. Restart the
CD/DVD Server to make it accept the setting.
§
When you execute the ping command for the first time, the
response time may be significantly longer than usual. It may be
necessary to issue 'ping -t' command instead of a simple 'ping' to
