or a similar message. This
reply indicates that the address has been set and communications established.
Using ARP in UNIX
•
Type the following command:
arp -s
host_name nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
temp
ping
host_name
where:
host_name is the name mapped to the Ethernet adapter’s IP address. For
more information about mapping a host name to the IP
address, see “Assigning a Host Name to the IP Address” later
in this chapter.
nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn is the Ethernet address for the adapter.
Example:
arp -s npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping npsname
The host will return
npsname is alive
or a similar message. This message indicates
that the address has been set and communications established.
When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a longer
response time than is usual.
The ARP command can vary between different UNIX systems. Berkeley System
Distribution (BSD) type systems expect the host name and node address in reverse
order. Furthermore, IBM AIX

systems require the additional argument ether. For
example:
arp -s ether host name 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
Using RARP in UNIX
Note: If you are an IBM AIX user, you will probably not have access to a RARP
daemon. If this is the case, you can use either the ARP or BOOTP method instead.
1. Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table, typically by using the
command
/etc/ethers
:
nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn host_name
