# arp –s 192.168.20.127 00:80:87:01:00:D2 temp

ping
command to confirm the connection with
the network interface.
Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127
# ping 192.168.20.127

configuration of the IP address (the IP address has
already been set manually or dynamically), or with the
network. Reset the network interface settings to default
and try to set a temporary IP address.
If you still have the problem after resetting the network
interface, consult the network manager.
NOTE
If you do not have superuser rights, the network
manger should conduct the configuration.
