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.
