Notes: The arp command can vary between different UNIX systems. The

802.5argument is only required for IBM AIX systems, and some BSD type systems expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether. For example:

arp -s ether <host name> 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp

Please note that when you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response time than is usual.
