Does anyone know how to assign the ip address of a linux box from a remote
workstation using arp?? I've seen webcams do this so i know its possible.
One suggestion i've seen is to assign the box a 'fake' random address like
10.255.1.48 or whatever and use tcpdump to watch for MAC addresses.. If the
box sees its own MAC address, it sets its IP address to whatever is being
queried. The remote workstation would use something like
arp -s [real ip address] [MAC address of linux box]
and then to initiate the query..
ping [real ip address]
It seems like there would be an easier way to do this...or maybe even a
utility that already exists.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
