Section 6: Setup for Unix systems
48 Axis NPS 630/632 User’s Manual
The rarp method The rarp method uses a daemon to establish and maintain
communication between the hosts listed in a node address table (/etc/ethers
on most systems). Rarp daemons are normally only used on BSD-type
and System V Unix systems. If you are an IBM AIX user, use the arp or
bootp methods instead.
Follow these steps to use the rarp method:
1. Open the node address table using a text editor (e.g. vi /etc/ethers),
and add a line containing the node address and host name for your
NPS 630/632.
2. Update your alias name data bases (see page 45).
3. Start the rarp daemon (if not already running) by the command
rarpd -a.
4. Restart the NPS 630/632 to down-load the IP address.
