Now add a static entry to the ARP table and ping the Console Server to assign the IP address to the console server. In the
example below, a Console Server has a MAC Address 00:13:C6:00:02:0F (designated on the label on the bottom of the unit)
and we are setting its IP address to 192.168.100.23. Also the PC/workstation issuing the
arp
command must be on the same
network segment as the Console Server (that is, have an IP address of 192.168.100.xxx)
• Type
arp -s 192.168.100.23 00-13-C6-00-02-0F
(Note for UNIX the syntax is:
arp -s 192.168.100.23
00:13:C6:00:02:0F
).
• Type
ping -t 192.18.100.23
to start a continuous ping to the new IP Address.
• Turn on the Console Server and wait for it to configure itself with the new IP address. It will start replying to the ping at
this point.
• Type
arp –d
to flush the ARP cache again.
