2. Set a temporary IP Address on the NIC using the ARP
command.
Example
For IP address 172.168.20.127 and network card address
00:80:92:01:00:D2:
# arp –s 172.168.20.127 00:80:92:01:00:D2 temp
3. Use the PING command to confirm the connection with the
network card.
Example
For IP address 172.168.20.127:
# ping 172.168.20.127
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of
the IP address (the IP address has been already set manually
or by the DHCP/RARP server), or with the network. Reset the
network interface card settings to the default and try to set a
temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after
resetting the network interface card, consult the network
manager.
NOTE
The Ethernet address (MAC address) is displayed
during the self-diagnostic test (see page 9). A
temporary address does not need to be set if an IP
address has already been set.
