OKI OkiLAN 6010e User’s Guide
Assigning the IP Address
There are eight different methods for assigning an IP
address to the OkiLAN 6010e: Gleaning, Static Route
Entry, DHCP, RARP, BOOTP and using the OkiNet
utilities. Gleaning, Static Route Entry and RARP
require the OkiLAN 6010e and the host to be on the
same subnet. DHCP and BOOTP also have this restric-
tion unless the network routers are configured to pass
these requests. The OkiNet utilities do not have this
restriction.
Gleaning
If an IP address has not been permanently assigned
when the OkiLAN 6010e is powered on or reset, it will
look for a ping packet on the network. If the
OkiLAN6010e receives a ping packet within two
minutes, it will accept the IP address in the ping packet
as its own address.
To use Gleaning, you must have Windows 95, Windows
NT, or super-user privileges on a UNIX system.
1. Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns
an IP address to the hardware address of the
OkiLAN 6010e. To do this, use the arp
command.
arp –s <ip_address><hardware_address> temp
UNIX Example:
arp –s 192.168.42.24 00:02:16:00:00:01 temp
Windows 95, Windows NT Example:
arp –s 192.168.42.24 00-02-16-00-00-01
