Settings Using ARP/PING Commands
1 Start up the MS-DOS prompt or the Command prompt.
If you are using UNIX, display the console screen, and then log in as a
superuser.
2 Execute the following command to add a static entry to the
arp table.
arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address>
IP Address: Specify the IP Address you want to allocate to the machine.
The IP address consists of 4 numbers ranging from 0 to 255,
using periods (.) as separators.
MAC Address: Specify the MAC Address of the machine. Every second digit
is separated by "-" (":" for UNIX).
Input Example (Windows): arp -s 172.20.88.125 00-00-85-05-70-31
Input Example (UNIX): arp -s 172.20.88.125 00:00:85:05:70:31
NOTE
If you are using IBM-AIX, enter "arp -s ether <IP Address> <MAC Address>."
3 Execute the applicable command below to set the IP address
for the network board.
ping <IP Address> -l 479 (for Windows)
ping -s <IP Address> 479 (for Solaris 1.x/2.x)
ping <IP Address> 479 (for IBM-AIX)
ping <IP Address> 487 (for HP-UX)
ping -s 479 <IP Address> (for Red Hat Linux)
ping -s 480 <IP Address> (for Turbolinux)
IP Address: Specify the same IP ADDRESS that you specified in step 2
above.
Input Example (Windows): ping 172.20.88.125 -l 479
NOTE
• The character "-l" is the alphabet letter "L".
• The Subnet Mask and Gateway Address are set as <0.0.0.0>.
The preparation for the machine's protocol settings are complete.
