IP Address
Option 3:
Using RARP
To determine if RARP is running on your host, enter:
p s - a x | g r e p r a r p d
(BSD)
or
p s - e f | g r e p r a r p d
(System V)
If RARP is running on your host, proceed as follows:
Note
If the system does not display a process number for the RARP
daemon, skip to the section “IP Address Option 4:
Using ARP” (page 5-22).
To begin the RARP procedure, the IP address on the XNIC
must be “none”.

Edit the file /etc/ethers (or /usr/etc/ethers ) by adding a line
that describes the XNIC as follows:
0 0 : 0 0 : c 9 : x x : x x : x x s e r v e r _ n o d e _ n a m e
where
0 0 : 0 0 : c 9 : x x : x x : x x
represents the XNIC-E’NET
hardware address, or
00:00:93:xx:xx:xx
represents the
XNIC-T’RING hardware address.
The default
s e r v e r _ n o d e _ n a m e
is XNE xxxxxx for
XNIC-E’NET , or XNT xxxxxx for XNIC-T’RING where
xxxxxx is the last six characters of the XNIC hardware
address.
For example, if the Ethernet hardware address is
00-00-c9-88-E8-29, enter the following line in the
ethers file:
0 0 : 0 0 : c 9 : 8 8 : E 8 : 2 9 X N E 8 8 E 8 2 9
If the Token Ring hardware address is 00-00-93-10-76-E4,
enter the following line in the
ethers file:
00:00:93:10:76:E4 XNT1076E4
You may change the server node name to a more
convenient name if desired. Refer to the section
“Setting Optional Configurations” (page 5-35).
