I was about to reply to Arno's post, and was
thinking about (R)ARP while
having my dinner. It's a bit odd the way it says to "make an entry in the
ARP table" because that's NOT what you do, exactly. The ARP table on a
host has nothing to do with providing responses to other things that need
information in order to boot, it's just used to map MAC addresses (Ethernet
addresses, typically) to IP addresses when talking to other hosts known by
IP address. But I'm sure it's just a case of Calcomp getting the
terminolgy slightly wrong.
Well, it certainly does the trick for Intel print servers.
To set the IP address on a Netport Express, you first give it an IP through
the "arp" utility, then ping it, which will make the Netport inherit the IP
with which it was pinged. Quite ingenious.
