Axis NPS 650 User’s Manual
The rarp method
The rarp method uses a daemon to establish and maintain
communication between the hosts listed in a node address table (/etc/ethers
on most systems). Rarp daemons are normally only used on BSD-type
and System V Unix systems. If you are an IBM AIX user, use the arp or
bootp methods instead.
Follow these steps to use the rarp method:
1. Open the node address table using a text editor (e.g.
vi /etc/ethers
),
and add a line containing the node address and host name for your
NPS 650.
2. Update your alias name data bases (see page 45).
3. Start the rarp daemon (if not already running) by the command
rarpd -a
.
4. Restart the NPS 650 to down-load the IP address.
