Using ARP in UNIX Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using ARP:

Type the following commands in the shell window:

arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp ping <host name>

Example:

arp -s npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp ping npsname

The host will return npsname is alive, or a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and that communication is established.

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.

The ARP command varies between different UNIX systems. 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

When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response time than is usual.
