9.If RARP is not running, start the RARP daemon in the Solaris software environment by typing:

#/usr/sbin/in.rarpd -ad

The IP address will now automatically download to the switch after you install the switch and power on the system.

Note –RARP might not work properly if you have connected the ethernet port of the FC switch to an Ethernet switch; this is due to the long time it might take for the Ethernet switch to transmit the RARP. In such a case you can use the management GUI to change the IP address. See the Sun Switch Management User’s Manual.

10.Power off the switch and then power it back on.

11.Verify the switch IP address.

#ping <ip-address>

For example:

#ping 192.129.122.111

12.If the RARP daemon has started, return to the window in which the daemon was activated.

Perform the Control-Ckey sequence to the stop the daemon operation.

Note –The IP address setting for the switch that you obtain using RARP is not a permanent setting until RARP is disabled.

▼To Make the IP Address Setting Permanent

Refer to the SANsurfer Switch Management chapter of the SANbox 8/16 Switch Management User’s Manual. See the Network Configuration Window section and the Static IP Address Radio Button for information on enabling / disabling RARP via the GUI.
