Procedure 12-1: Address resolution protocol (ARP) routing
Before you begin
Obtain the work instructions for this procedure.
Step
Perform the following to configure ARP and/or to view ARP information on the switch.
1 |
Log in to the VLNC6x being provisioned. |
2 |
From the Navigation menu, select Routing → ARP → ARP Create. Enter the required parameters, then click Submit. Equivalent CLI command: From the Global Config mode, enter arp <ipaddress> <macaddress>. Parameters:
|
3 |
From the Navigation menu, select Routing → ARP → ARP Table Configuration to configure and display the ARP information. Enter the required parameters, then click Submit. A list of all ARP entries in the ARP cache are displayed at the bottom of the screen. For the equivalent CLI commands and descriptions, see ARP table parameters , ARP table entries, and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) commands under Routing commands in the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide.

ARP table parameters
|
Parameter |
Description |
CLI command |
|---|---|---|
|
Age Time (secs) |
The ARP entry ageout time in seconds. Valid values: an integer value in the range of 15 to 21600 seconds. The default is 1200. |
arp timeout <seconds> |
|
Response Time (secs) |
This is the ARP request response timeout time in seconds. Valid values: an integer value in the range of 1-10 seconds. The default value is 1. |
arp resptime <seconds> |
|
Retries |
The maximum number of retries. Valid values: an integer value in the range of 0 -100. The default value is 4. The value "100" means the retry will be sent forever until the request is resolved. |
arp retries <count> |
|
Cache Size |
The number of entries in the cache. Valid values: an integer value in the range of 256 - 1920. The default value is 1920. |
arp cachesize <cache-size> |
|
Dynamic Renew |
Enables/disables the ARP component to automatically renew dynamic ARP entries when they age out. Valid values: Enable (default) or Disable. |
arp dynamicrenew |
|
Total Entry Count |
This is a display-only field. Total number of ARP entries. |
show arp |
|
Peak Total Entries |
This is a display-only field. |
show arp |
|
Active Static Entries |
This is a display-only field. |
show arp |
|
Configured Static Entries |
This is a display-only field. |
show arp |
|
Maximum Static Entries |
This is a display-only field. |
show arp |
|
Remove From Table Entry |
This is a drop-down list containing: |
clear arp-cache - Use to remove all dynamic entries from the ARP cache. clear arp-cache gateway - Use to remove all dynamic/gateway entries from the ARP cache. |
|
Remove IP Address |
This is the IP address for a specific Dynamic/ Gateway, or Static entry. It is an IPv4 address format. If the "Remove From Table Entry" field is "Specific dynamic/Gateway Entry" or "Specific Static Entry" (see above), then this is a required field. Otherwise, this field does not display. |
arp purge <ipaddr> - Use to remove the specified IP address from the ARP cache. Only entries of type dynamic or gateway are affected by this command. |
