AXIS 7000/FX User's Manual Use DHCP, ARP, RARP and BOOTP as an alternative to setting the IP address from the control panel or keyboard. Follow the appropriate instructions for the preferred method below. Do not use the IP address used in any of the following examples. Before you begin: · Power Make sure the AXIS 7000/FX is powered on and attached to the network. · System Privileges You will need administrator privileges on the Windows NT server or root privileges on the UNIX system. · Ethernet Address Depending on the method you are using, you will need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 7000/FX. The Ethernet address is based upon the AXIS 7000/FX serial number. You will find the number on the underside label. · IP Address Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator. Using DHCP Follow these steps to use the DHCP method: 1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. For Windows NT servers, refer to the "Windows NT Resource Kit" on how to do this. The entries made in this scope typically include the following parameters: · Range of IP addresses · Subnet mask · Default router IP address · Lease duration · Mail server IP address · DNS server IP address · Domain name · NTP server IP address Activate the scope. 2. AXIS 7000/FX User's Manual Notes: Basic Installation 27 · DHCP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator using the System Settings page. · The IP address and all the other settings will be downloaded automatically. You do not need to restart the AXIS 7000/FX. Using ARP in Windows In Windows 95 and Windows NT, you can download the IP address using ARP. Perform the following commands to download the IP address and verify the communication. Important! Windows 95 only: If the ARP table is empty, you must first ping an existing unit on your network before setting the IP address of your AXIS 7000/FX. Type arp -a to display the ARP table. From the DOS prompt, type the following: arp -s ping The Ethernet address equals the serial number of the AXIS 7000/FX with each pair of digits separated by a hyphen. Example: arp -s 172.16.253.80 00-40-8c-11-00-86 ping 172.16.253.80 The host will return `Reply from 172.16.253.80...' or a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and that the communication is established. 28 Basic Installation Notes: AXIS 7000/FX User's Manual · ARP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator using the System Settings page. · Once the AXIS 7000/FX has established communication using an appropriate IP address, the arp/ping commands cannot be used to change the address. The reason for this is to avoid accidental or unauthorized changes of the IP address. Restart the AXIS 7000/FX to make it accept the setting of the IP address. You can perform a restart remotely via the AXIS 7000/FX web interface. See "Specifying the System Settings "on page 36. · When you execute the ping command for the first time, the response time may be significantly longer than usual. Using ARP in UNIX and OS/2 In UNIX and OS/2, type the following commands to download the IP address and verify the communication: arp -s temp ping The Ethernet address or node address equals the AXIS 7000/FX serial number with each pair of digits separated by a colon. Example: arp -s spserv 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp ping spserv The host will return `spserv is alive' or a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and that communication is established. AXIS 7000/FX User's Manual Notes: Basic Installation 29 · ARP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator using the System Settings page. · The arp -s command may vary between different systems. Some BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in reverse order. IBM AIX systems require the additional argument ether for Ethernet networks, e.g. arp -s ether spserv 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp · Once the AXIS 7000/FX has established communication using an appropriate IP address, the arp/ping commands cannot be used to change the address. The reason is to avoid accidental or unauthorized change of the IP address. Restart the AXIS 7000/FX to make it accept the setting. You can perform a restart remotely via the AXIS 7000/FX web interface. See "Specifying the System Settings "on page 36. · When you execute the ping command for the first time, the response time may be significantly longer than usual. Using RARP in UNIX Follow these steps to download the IP address using the RARP method: 1. Append the following line to your Ethernet address table. This is typically performed by editing the file /etc/ethers. Example: 00:40:8c:24:c0:1c spserv 2. 3. 4. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as required by your system. Start the RARP daemon, if it is not already running. This is typically performed using the command rarpd -a Restart the AXIS 7000/FX to download the IP address. See "Specifying the System Settings "on page 36 Note: RARP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator using the System Settings page. 30 Basic Installation Using BOOTP in UNIX AXIS 7000/FX User's Manual Follow these steps to download the IP address using the BOOTP method: 1. Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically performed by editing the file /etc/bootptab. :ht=:vm=:\ :ha=:ip=:\ :sm=:gw= where: ht vm ha ip sm gw ether for Ethernet rfc1048 The Ethernet or node address, i.e. the AXIS 7000/FX serial number The IP address of the AXIS 7000/FX The subnet mask The default router address Example: spserv:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\ :ha=00408c24c01c:ip=172.16.253.80:\ :sm=255.255.0.0:gw=172.16.253.254 2. 3. 4. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as required by your system. Start the BOOTP daemon, if it is not already running. This is typically performed using the command bootpd -a Restart the AXIS 7000/FX to download the IP address, default router address and subnet mask. Notes: BOOTP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator using the System Settings page. AXIS 7000/FX User's Manual Basic Installation 31 Mapping a Host Name to the IP Address If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the acquired IP address. Refer to your system manuals or to your Network Administrator for instructions on how to perform the name mapping on your particular system. Note: If the host name has not been included in the system host table, you can still perform the following instructions on how to download the IP address. In this case, simply replace the host name entry with the IP address wherever needed.
