Section 6: Setup for Unix systems
48 Axis NPS 550 User’s Manual
The rarp method The rarp method uses a daemon to establish and maintain
communication between the hosts listed in a Ethernet 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 Ethernet address table using a text editor (e.g.
vi /etc/ethers), and add a line containing the Ethernet address and
host name for your NPS 550.
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 550 to down-load the IP address.
