ARP commands

The WX1800H series, WX2500H series, MAK series, and WX3000H series access controllers do not support parameters or commands that are available only in IRF mode.

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

Predefined user roles

network-admin

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.

network-admin

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 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 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 System Management 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 max-learning-num

Use arp max-learning-num to set the dynamic ARP learning limit for an interface.

Use undo arp max-learning-num to restore the default.

Syntax

arp max-learning-num max-number

undo arp max-learning-num

Default

The default for this command is the maximum value of the max-number argument.

slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member device by its member ID. (In IRF mode.)

Usage guidelines

A device can dynamically learn ARP entries. To prevent a device from holding too many ARP entries, you can set the maximum number of dynamic ARP entries that the device can learn. When the maximum number is reached, the device stops learning ARP entries.

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

Examples

# Set the ARP learning limit to 64 for slot 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] arp max-learning-number 64 slot 1

arp static

Use arp static to configure a static ARP entry.

Use undo arp to delete an ARP entry.

Syntax

arp static ip-address mac-address [ vlan-id interface-type interface-number ]

undo arp ip-address

Default

No static ARP entries exist.

Views

System view

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.

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.

·     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.

Examples

# Configure a long static ARP entry that contains IP address 202.38.10.2, MAC address 00e0-fc01-0000, and output interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 in VLAN 10.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] arp static 202.38.10.2 00e0-fc01-0000 10 gigabitethernet 1/0/1

Related commands

arp timer aging

Use arp timer aging to set the aging timer for dynamic ARP entries.

Use undo arp timer aging to restore the default.

Syntax

arp timer aging aging-time

undo arp timer aging

Default

The aging timer for dynamic ARP entries is 20 minutes.

Views

System view

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.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] arp timer aging 10

Related commands

display arp timer aging

display arp

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 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 VLAN-interface 2 to send gratuitous ARP packets every 300 milliseconds.

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 2

[Sysname-Vlan-interface2] arp send-gratuitous-arp interval 300

gratuitous-arp mac-change retransmit

Use gratuitous-arp mac-change retransmit to set the times and the interval for retransmitting a gratuitous ARP packet for the device MAC address change.

Use undo gratuitous-arp mac-change retransmit to restore the default.

Syntax

gratuitous-arp mac-change retransmit times interval seconds

undo gratuitous-arp mac-change retransmit

Default

The device sends a gratuitous packet for its MAC address change once only.

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.

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

Syntax

gratuitous-arp-learning enable

undo gratuitous-arp-learning enable

Default

Learning of gratuitous ARP packets is enabled.

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.

Examples

# Enable learning of gratuitous ARP packets.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] gratuitous-arp-learning enable

gratuitous-arp-sending enable

Use gratuitous-arp-sending enable to enable sending gratuitous ARP packets upon receiving ARP requests whose sender IP address is on a different subnet.

Use undo gratuitous-arp-sending enable to disable sending gratuitous ARP packets upon receiving ARP requests whose sender IP address is on a different subnet.

Syntax

gratuitous-arp-sending enable

undo gratuitous-arp-sending enable

Default

A device does not send gratuitous ARP packets when it receives ARP requests whose sender IP address is on a different subnet.

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 VLAN-interface 2.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 2

[Sysname-Vlan-interface2] local-proxy-arp enable

# Enable local proxy ARP on VLAN-interface 2 for an IP address range.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 2

[Sysname-Vlan-interface2] local-proxy-arp enable ip-range 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.20

Related commands
