Section 6: Setup for Unix systems
48 Axis NPS 530/532 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 530/532.
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 530/532 to down-load the IP address.
