AXIS 5600 User’s Manual

Using RARP in UNIX

Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using RARP:

1. Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is

typically located in the

/etc/ethers

file:

Example:

2. Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases, as

required by your system.

3. If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon. This is

typically performed using the

rarpd -a

command.

4. Restart the AXIS 5600 to download the IP address.

Notes:

❏ If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply

replace the host name entry with the IP address in the example
above.

❏ If you are using IBM AIX, you will probably not have access to a

RARP daemon. If this is the case, you can use either the ARP or
BOOTP methods instead.
