7.1.4 ...Using an RARP-Server (UNIX only)
Working with an RARP server activated under UNIX is based on
entries in the configuration files
/etc/ethers
and
/etc/hosts
.
First expand
/etc/ethers
by one line with the assignment of the
Ethernet address of the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph to the
desired IP address. In
/etc/hosts
the link with an alias is then
specified. After you have connected the device in the network
segment of the RARP server, you can assign the desired IP
address to the device over the network.
Example:
Your Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph has MAC address
EN=00C03D0012FF (sticker on the housing). You want it to have
IP-Address 172.0.0.10 and the alias WT_1 .
Entry in the file
/etc/hosts:
172.0.0.10 WT_1
Entry in the file
/etc/ethers:
00:C0:3D:00:12:FF WT_1
If the RARP daemon is not yet activated, you must start it using
the command
„rarpd -a“
.
