24 AXIS 700 User’s Manual
Using ARP in
UNIX and OS/2
Type the following commands to download the Internet address and
verify the communication:
Example:
The host will return ‘
spserv is alive’
or a similar message. This
indicates that the address has been set and that communication is
established.
Notes:
❏ The
Ethernet address
or
node address
equals the serial
number found on the underside label of the AXIS 700 with each
pair of digits separated by a colon.
❏ 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
).
❏ Once the AXIS 700 has established communications using an
appropriate Internet address, the
arp/ping
commands cannot be
used to change the address. The reason is to avoid accidental or
unauthorized change of the Internet address. Restart the AXIS
700 to make it accept the setting.
❏ When you execute the
ping
command for the first time, the
response time may be significantly longer than usual.
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet or node address> temp
ping <host name>
arp -s spserv 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
ping spserv
