CHANGE MODULE’S IP ADDRESS RESOLUTION METHOD & RE-BOOT
(UDP/IP Command ‘psirarp’)
Purpose: To change (toggle) the current IP address resolution state (ipaarpst) of a specified
module, and then unconditionally “re-boot” it.
Command
“psirarp ethadr”
where ethadr is the Ethernet
address of the specified module in
the following special hex-digit
format
‘xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx’
Response
none (module re-boots)
Description: When a module receives this broadcast command, (by continuously monitoring
port 7000) it responds by toggling its current ARP method to one of two states:
dynamic resolution or static resolution. Then it restarts its firmware. The result is
essentially the same as a power-up restart, in that any TCP/IP connection is lost,
and the module returns to its normal startup state. However, if it used the static
resolution method before it received this command, after the re-boot, it will not
have a valid IP address until an external network server (RARP or BOOTP)
provides it with one. However, executing the command a second time will restore
it to using its original statically-assigned IP address (after another re-boot
finishes).
Just as for the “psireboot” command, the host must wait long enough for the
re-boot process to be completed before it can again request a connection to the
module.
Example:
• Reconfigure a specified module on the network so that it uses its “other” IP
address resolution method, and also re-boot it. Presumably, the host knew the
module’s current state (iparpst) as a result of a recent Network Query response
from the module.
“psirarp 00-E0-8D-00-00-01”
Response:
(None)
