Flushing ARP Cache Entries

You might want to delete all entries from the ARP cache if the MAC address has changed.

Setting the RIP

Mode

RIP default mode

To remove all entries from the ARP cache, enter the following command from the top level of the Administration Console:

ip arp flush

The ARP cache entries are immediately removed from the table.

You can select a RIP mode that is appropriate for your network. RIP can operate in one of two modes:

■Off — The station ignores all incoming RIP packets and does not generate any RIP packets of its own.

■Passive — The station processes all incoming RIP packets and responds to explicit requests for routing information, but it does not broadcast periodic or triggered RIP updates.

By default, RIP operates in passive mode. To set the RIP operating mode:

Pinging an IP

Station

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

ip rip

2Enter the RIP mode (off or passive). To use the value in brackets, press [Return] at the prompt.

See the following example:

Select RIP mode (off, passive) [passive]: off

Once you have set up your IP interface, you might want to check to see if the Switch 2200 system can communicate with other systems over the IP network. To check, you can “ping” the IP address of your management station.
