Unless the network is not yet in existence, however, an address
will already have been given to the network section that the
Ethernet Card is to be plugged into. In this case, the interface card
should be given an address that has the first three numbers of the
address the same as the other devices on that network section, and
be given a unique last (4th) number, different to that of any other
device on that network section. The network supervisor should be
able to advise what addresses are in use at the site.
How to input the IP Address
Use arp to set the IP address for the Ethernet Card, as described
below:
1. Obtain a status sheet for the Ethernet Card (for Node addrs).
2. Enter command ARP-S IP ADDRS NODE Addrs.
For example:
ARP-S 133.200.3.181 00:00:48:92:DA:35
or
PING the new IP address.
For Example:
PING 133.200.3.181
The Ethernet Card will be set
to
this IP address.
Caution:
Two different Ethernet
cards
should
not be active on the same
network until their addresses have been set, otherwise they will both
have the same address (which will confuse the network).
