Assigning the IP address
2.6 Assigning the IP using a RARP server
UNIX environments especially use RARP protocol for centrally
assigning IP addresses. TCP/IP devices that want to obtain an
IP address send RARP requests with their Ethernet address as a
broadcast over the network.
RARP protocol is coupled to BOOTP protocol in the Com-Ser-
ver. Activate it from
SETUP System
r
SETUP TCP/IP
r
BOOTP
Client .
Activate the RARP server, and enter the Ethernet address of the
Com-Server in the file /etc/ethers and the IP address in the file
/etc/hosts.
58xxx [Model]
EN=00c03d004a05
OK xxxxxx
Ethernet address
The Com-Server must be connected to the network in the same
segment as the RARP server.
Example:
Your Com-Server has the MAC address EN= 00C03D0012FF
(sticker on the unit). You want to give it IP address
172.16.231.10 and the alias name WT_1:
• Entry in the file /etc/hosts :
172.16.231.10WT_1
• Entry in the file /etc/ethers :
00:C0:3D:00:12:FF WT_1

To prevent unintended address assignments or changes,
we recommend deactivating the DHCP, BOOTP and RARP
protocols if they are not expressly used in the respective
network environment. Com-Servers with incorrectly assigned IP
addresses can be easily found after the fact using the scan
function of the WuTility management tool and reconfigured.
