Usage guidelines
Dynamic ARP entry check disables a device from supporting dynamic ARP entries with multicast MAC addresses. The device cannot learn dynamic ARP entries containing multicast MAC addresses. You cannot manually add static ARP entries that contain multicast MAC addresses.
When dynamic ARP entry check is disabled, ARP entries containing multicast MAC addresses are supported. The device can learn dynamic ARP entries containing multicast MAC addresses obtained from the ARP packets sourced from a unicast MAC address. You can also manually add static ARP entries containing multicast MAC addresses.
Examples
# Enable dynamic ARP entry check.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] arp check enable
arp check log enable
Use arp check log enable to enable the ARP logging feature.
Use undo arp check log enable to disable the ARP logging feature.
Syntax
arp check log enable
undo arp check log enable
Default

Usage guidelines
This feature enables a device to log ARP events when ARP cannot resolve IP addresses correctly. The device can log the following ARP events:
· On a proxy ARP-disabled interface, the target IP address of a received ARP packet is not one of the following IP addresses:
¡ The IP address of the receiving interface.
¡ The virtual IP address of the VRRP group.
· The sender IP address of a received ARP reply conflicts with one of the following IP addresses:
¡ The IP address of the receiving interface.
¡ The virtual IP address of the VRRP group.
The device sends ARP log messages to the information center. You can use the info-center source command to specify the log output rules for the information center. For more information about information center, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
The device can generate a large number of ARP logs. To conserve system resources, enable ARP logging only when you are auditing or troubleshooting ARP events.
Examples
# Enable ARP logging.

arp ip-unnumbered learning enable
Use arp ip-unnumbered learning enable to enable an IP unnumbered interface to learn ARP entries for different subnets.
Use undo arp ip-unnumbered learning enable to disable an IP unnumbered interface from learning ARP entries for different subnets.
Syntax
arp ip-unnumbered learning enable
undo arp ip-unnumbered learning enable
Default
An IP unnumbered interface cannot learn ARP entries for different subnets.
Views

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Usage guidelines
An IP unnumbered interface cannot learn the ARP entry of the peer device if the unnumbered interface and the peer device are on different subnets. To ensure communication between them, you can enable this feature on the IP unnumbered interface.
This feature takes effect only on an interface configured with the ip address unnumbered command. This interface is an unnumbered interface and borrows the IP address from another interface.
If an IP unnumbered interface is disabled from learning ARP entries for different subnets, existing ARP entries learned for different subnets are deleted after they age out.
Examples
# Configure HundredGigE 1/0/1 to borrow the IP address of HundredGigE 1/0/2, and enable HundredGigE 1/0/1 to learn ARP entries for different subnets.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface hundredgige 1/0/1

Parameters
max-number: Specifies the maximum number of dynamic ARP entries that can be learned on an interface. The value range for this argument is 0 to N, where N equals to the ARP table capacity.
Usage guidelines
An interface can dynamically learn ARP entries. To prevent an interface from holding too many ARP entries, you can set the maximum number of dynamic ARP entries that the interface can learn. When the limit is reached, the interface stops learning ARP entries.
When the learning limit is set to 0, the interface is disabled from learning dynamic ARP entries.
Examples
# Specify VLAN-interface 40 to learn a maximum of 10 dynamic ARP entries.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 40

Usage guidelines
By default, the device associates an ARP entry with routing information when the device learns an ARP entry. The ARP entry provides the next hop information for routing. To save hardware resources, you can use this command to specify a port that connects to a user terminal as a customer-side port. The device will not associate the routing information with the learned ARP entries.
Examples
# Configure VLAN-interface 2 as a customer-side port.

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
ip-address: Specifies an IP address for the static ARP entry.
mac-address: Specifies a MAC address for the static ARP entry, in the format of H-H-H.
vlan-id: Specifies the ID of a VLAN to which the static ARP entry belongs. The value range is 1 to 4094.
interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number.
vsi-interface vsi-interface-id: Specifies a VSI interface by its number. The VSI interface must already exist.
tunnel number: Specifies a tunnel interface by its number. The tunnel interface must already exist.
vsi vsi-name: Specifies a VSI by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters.
service-instance instance-id: Specifies an Ethernet service instance by its ID in the range of 1 to 4096. This option is a must if you specify a Layer 2 Ethernet interface for the preceding interface-type interface-number arguments. Do not specify this option if you specify an interface of other types for the preceding interface-type interface-number argument.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the MPLS L3VPN instance to which the static ARP entry belongs. The vpn-instance-name argument is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If the static ARP entry belongs to the public network, do not specify this option.
Usage guidelines
A static ARP entry is manually configured and maintained. It does not age out and cannot be overwritten by any dynamic ARP entry.
Static ARP entries can be short or long.
A resolved short static ARP entry becomes unresolved upon certain events, for example, when the resolved output interface goes down, or the corresponding VLAN or VLAN interface is deleted.
Long static ARP entries are effective or ineffective. Ineffective long static ARP entries cannot be used for packet forwarding. A long static ARP entry is ineffective when any of the following conditions exists:
· The IP address in the entry conflicts with a local IP address.
· No local interface has an IP address in the same subnet as the IP address in the ARP entry.
If you specify the vlan-id interface-type interface-number argument, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
· The interface can be an Ethernet interface or an aggregate interface.
· The VLAN and VLAN interface must already exist. The specified Ethernet interface must belong to the specified VLAN.
· The IP address of the VLAN interface and the IP address specified by the ip-address argument must be on the same network.
· A long static ARP entry for a VLAN is deleted if the VLAN or VLAN interface is deleted.
On a VXLAN IP gateway that forwards traffic among VXLANs through VXLAN tunnels, a VSI interface can act as the gateway for multiple VXLANs. The VSI interface (input interface) might be connected to multiple VXLAN tunnel interfaces (output interfaces). In this case, you must specify the vsi-interface vsi-interface-id tunnel number vsi vsi-name parameters to identify a VSI interface-VSI-VXLAN tunnel interface binding. For more information about VSI interfaces, VSI, and VXLAN tunnel interfaces, see VXLAN Configuration Guide.
On a VXLAN IP gateway that forwards traffic from multiple local sites to remote sites, a VSI interface can act as the gateway for multiple local sites. The VSI interface (input interface) might be associated with multiple Ethernet services (output interfaces) on Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces through which the VSI interface connects to the local sites. In this case, you must specify the vsi-interface vsi-interface-id interface-type interface-number service-instance instance-id vsi vsi-name parameters to identify a VSI interface-Layer 2 Ethernet interface-Ethernet service instance-VSI binding. For more information about VSI interfaces, VSI, and Ethernet service instances, see VXLAN Configuration Guide.

network-admin
Parameters
aging-time: Specifies the aging timer for dynamic ARP entries, in the range of 1 to 1440 minutes.
Usage guidelines
Each dynamic ARP entry in the ARP table has a limited lifetime, called an aging timer. The aging timer of a dynamic ARP entry is reset each time the dynamic ARP entry is updated. Dynamic ARP entries that are not updated before their aging timers expire are deleted from the ARP table.
Set the aging timer for dynamic ARP entries as needed. For example, when you configure proxy ARP, set a short aging time so that invalid dynamic ARP entries can be deleted in a timely manner.
Examples
# Set the aging timer for dynamic ARP entries to 10 minutes.

Parameters
interval interval: Specifies the sending interval in the range of 200 to 200000 milliseconds. The default value is 2000 milliseconds.
Usage guidelines
This feature takes effect on an interface only when the interface has an IP address and the data link layer state of the interface is up.
This feature can send gratuitous ARP requests only for a VRRP virtual IP address, or the sending interface's primary IP address or manually configured secondary IP address. The primary IP address can be configured manually or automatically, whereas the secondary IP address must be configured manually.
If you change the sending interval for gratuitous ARP packets, the configuration takes effect at the next sending interval.
The sending interval for gratuitous ARP packets might be much longer than the set interval when any of the following conditions exist:
· This feature is enabled on multiple interfaces.
· Each interface is configured with multiple secondary IP addresses.
· A small sending interval is configured in the preceding cases.
Examples
# Enable HundredGigE 1/0/1 to send gratuitous ARP packets every 300 milliseconds.

Parameters
ip-range start-ip-address to end-ip-address: Specifies the IP address range for which local proxy ARP is enabled. The start IP address must be lower than or equal to the end IP address.
Usage guidelines
Proxy ARP enables a device on a network to answer ARP requests for an IP address not on that network.
With proxy ARP, hosts in different broadcast domains can communicate with each other as they do on the same network. To allow communication between hosts that connect to the same Layer 3 interface and reside in different broadcast domains, enable local proxy ARP.
If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.
Examples
# Enable local proxy ARP on HundredGigE 1/0/1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface hundredgige 1/0/1
[Sysname-HundredGigE1/0/1] local-proxy-arp enable
# Enable local proxy ARP on HundredGigE 1/0/1 for an IP address range.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface hundredgige 1/0/1
