•
rarp – downloads the Internet address to each device
automatically. Requires a rarp daemon on your system and
operates within a single network segment only,
•
bootp – similar to rarp, but operates on the entire network.
Requires a bootp daemon on your system.
Choose the method most suited to your needs. If needed, the rarp and
bootp methods can be disabled by editing the
RARPEnable
and
BOOTPEnable
parameters as described in section 5.
Set the Internet
Address Using the arp
Method
Perform the following commands to down-load the Internet address
and verify the communication (the Ethernet address or node address
equals the serial number found at the back of the Axis CD-ROM
server with each pair of digits separated by a colon, see example
below):
Example:
The host will return ‘
cdserv is alive
’ or similar indicating that the
address has been set, and that communication is established.
Notes:
❏
The
arp -s
command may vary between different systems. Some
BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in
reverse order. IBM AIX systems require the additional argument
ether
for Ethernet networks (e.g.
arp -s ether salesdept
00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
) and
802.5
for Token Ring networks
(e.g.
arp -s 802.5 salesdept 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
).
❏
When you execute the ping command for the first time you
should expect a response time significantly longer than usual.
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet or node address> temp
ping <host name>
arp -s cdserv 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
ping cdserv
