•If so, check the IP parameters you configured on the 8285 ATM Control Point to ensure that they are correct. Pay particular attention to your IP subnet and your IP subnet mask.
•If you are not registered with the ARP server, try the steps outlined in 7.1.3.2, ªCorrecting ARP Registration.º
7.1.3.1 Checking ARP Server for Registration
If you are unable to ping the ARP server or any other IP device, check to see if the ARP server is properly registering your IP and ATM addresses.
For AIX ARP servers, this can be checked in two ways:
1.Using SMIT, the Systems Management Interface Tool
2.Using the fast path command arp
Checking ARP Registration via SMIT
To check ARP registration via SMIT, perform the following steps:
1.Log on to the server as root.
2.Key in smit or smitty (the

7.1.3.2 Correcting ARP Registration
If the ARP server is not registering your 8285 CIP information, but is registering other CIP devices, try
If you are still not able to register, check the ARP server address you keyed in and be sure that all 20 bytes of the address explicitly match the ARP server′ s address.
You have now completed a simple CIP network. You could add additional workstations to the switch. Or you might choose to extend your network by adding another switch.
