Section 6: Setup for Unix systems
Axis NPS 550 User’s Manual 47
The arp method The arp command associates your NPS 550’s node address with an IP
address. The IP address is then down-loaded by the ping command. The
arp command syntax depends on your Unix system (see examples below).
This is the syntax for System V and some BSD-type systems:
arp -s <host name> <node address> temp
ping <host name>
The node address is the serial number found at the back of the NPS 550.
Each pair of digits must be separated by colons as in examples below.
Examples: The arp command differs between different Unix systems. The ‘ether’
argument is only required for IBM AIX systems, and some BSD-type
systems expect the host name and node address in reversed order.
The host will return ‘salesdept is alive’ or similar indicating that the IP
address has been set, and that communication is established.
Note: When you execute the ping command for the first time, you should
expect a response time significantly longer than usual.
BSD-Type Unix
Systems:
arp -s 00:40:8C:10:00:86 salesdept temp
ping salesdept
System V Unix
Systems:
arp -s salesdept 00:40:8C:10:00:86 temp
ping salesdept
IBM AIX Systems:
arp -s ether salesdept 00:40:8C:10:00:86 temp
ping salesdept
