AXIS StorPoint CD User’s Manual
Using ARP in
UNIX and OS/2
Type the following commands to download the Internet address and
verify the communication
:
Example:
The
Ethernet address
or
node address
equals the serial number
found on the underside label of the StorPoint CD with each pair of
digits separated by a colon.
The host will return ‘
cdserv is alive’
or similar message. This
indicates that the address has been set and that communication is
established.
Notes:
❏
The
arp -s
command may vary between different systems. Some
BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in
reverse order. IBM AIX systems require the additional argument
ether
for Ethernet networks (e.g.
arp -s ether salesdept
00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
) and
802.5
for Token Ring networks
(e.g.
arp -s 802.5 salesdept 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
).
❏
Once the StorPoint CD has established communications using an
appropriate Internet address, the
arp/ping
commands cannot be
used to change the address. The reason is to avoid accidental or
unauthorized change of the Internet address. Restart the
StorPoint CD to make it accept the setting.
❏
When you execute the
ping
command for the first time, the
response time may be significantly longer than usual.
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet or node address> temp
ping <host name>
arp -s cdserv 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
ping cdserv
