ARP commands

arp check enable

Use arp check enable to enable dynamic ARP entry check.

Use undo arp check enable to disable dynamic ARP entry check.

Syntax

arp check enable

undo arp check enable

Default

Dynamic ARP entry check is enabled.

Views

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

ARP logging is disabled.

Usage guidelines

This feature enables a device to log ARP events when ARP cannot resolve IP addresses correctly. The log information helps administrators locate and solve problems. 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 public IP address after NAT.

·     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 public IP address after NAT.

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.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] arp check log enable

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

Interface view

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 GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to borrow the IP address of GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, and enable GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to learn ARP entries for different subnets.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

Parameters

max-number: Specifies the maximum number of dynamic ARP entries for an interface. The value range for this argument is 0 to 16384.

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 maximum number is reached, the interface stops learning ARP entries.

When the number argument is set to 0, the interface is disabled from learning dynamic ARP entries.

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 value range for the vsi-interface-id argument is 0 to 8191.

tunnel number: Specifies a tunnel interface by its number. The value range for the number argument is 0 to 10239.

vsi vsi-name: Specifies a VSI by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies an MPLS L3VPN instance to which the static ARP entry belongs. The vpn-instance-name argument represents the VPN instance name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. The VPN instance must already exist. To specify a static ARP entry on 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 corresponding VLAN interface or output interface is down.

·     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.

·     If a VLAN or VLAN interface is deleted, a long static ARP entry for the VLAN is deleted and a resolved short static ARP entry for the VLAN becomes unresolved.

On a PE-agg device that provides L2VPN access to the L3VPN network, an L3VE interface (input interface) might be connected to multiple L2VE subinterfaces (output interfaces). In this case, to configure a long static ARP entry, you must specify the interface-type interface-number interface-type interface-number argument to identify the mapping between input and output interfaces. For more information about L2VE interfaces and L3VE interfaces, see MPLS Configuration Guide.

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.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

aging-time: Specifies the aging timer in minutes. The value range for this argument is 1 to 1440.

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 GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to send gratuitous ARP packets every 300 milliseconds.

network-admin

Parameters

times: Specifies the times of retransmitting a gratuitous packet, in the range of 1 to 10.

interval seconds: Specifies the interval for retransmitting a gratuitous packet, in the range of 1 to 10 seconds.

Usage guidelines

The device sends a gratuitous ARP packet to inform other devices of its MAC address change. However, the other devices might fail to receive the packet because the device sends the gratuitous ARP packet once only by default. Use this command to configure gratuitous ARP retransmission parameters to ensure that the other devices can receive the packet.

After you execute this command, the device will retransmit a gratuitous ARP packet for its MAC address change at the specified interval for the specified times.

Examples

# Set the times to 3 and the interval to 5 for retransmitting a gratuitous ARP packet for the device MAC address change.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] gratuitous-arp mac-change retransmit 3 interval 5

gratuitous-arp-learning enable

Use gratuitous-arp-learning enable to enable learning of gratuitous ARP packets.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

The learning of gratuitous ARP packets feature allows a device to maintain its ARP table by creating or updating ARP entries based on received gratuitous ARP packets.

When this feature is disabled, the device uses received gratuitous ARP packets to update existing ARP entries only. ARP entries are not created based on the received gratuitous ARP packets, which saves ARP table space.

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.

Proxy ARP includes common proxy ARP and local proxy ARP.

Common proxy ARP allows communication between hosts that connect to different Layer 3 interfaces and reside in different broadcast domains.

Local proxy ARP allows communication between hosts that connect to the same Layer 3 interface and reside in different broadcast domains.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Examples

# Enable local proxy ARP on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] local-proxy-arp enable

# Enable local proxy ARP on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 for an IP address range.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

This command is typically configured on a gateway. The ARP PnP feature allows end users to access the gateway without changing their IP addresses on subnets different from the subnet where the gateway resides.

To make ARP PnP operate correctly on an interface, make sure the following requirements are met:

·     The interface has a primary IP address.

·     NAT is configured on the interface that connects to the external network.

·     ARP entries on the interface are all deleted by using the reset arp command before you enable the ARP PnP feature.

The ARP PnP feature generates agent IP addresses based on the primary IP address and mask length of the interface. The maximum number of agent IP addresses allowed on an interface is the smaller value of the following items:

·     The device's limit on the maximum number of agent IP addresses on the interface.

·     The maximum number of host IP addresses allowed by the mask length. The interface's primary IP address is excluded. For example, if the mask length is 24, a maximum of 253 agent IP addresses can be generated.

Features that use ARP entries, for example, static routes and proxy ARP, cannot operate correctly when the ARP PnP feature is enabled.

Examples

# Enable the ARP PnP feature.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] arp pnp

display arp pnp

Use display arp pnp to display ARP PnP mappings.
