Now add a static entry to the ARP table and ping the console server to assign the IP address to the console
server. In the example below, a console server has a MAC Address 00:13:C6:00:02:0F (designated on the label
on the bottom of the unit) and we are setting its IP address to 192.168.100.23. Also the computer issuing the arp
command must be on the same network segment as the console server (that is, have an IP address of
192.168.100.xxx)

Type arp -s 192.168.100.23 00-13-C6-00-02-0F (Note for UNIX the syntax is: arp -s 192.168.100.23
00:13:C6:00:02:0F ).

Type ping -t 192.18.100.23 to start a continuous ping to the new IP Address.

Turn on the console server and wait for it to configure itself with the new IP address. It will start replying to the
ping at this point.

Type arp
–d
to flush the ARP cache again.
