When listing the contents of the M770 ATM Switch’s IP ARP cache, the destination IP and MAC addresses are shown. Also displayed is whether or not the ARP process has completed for each destination IP address in the IP ARP cache.

An entry in the cache becomes aged out 30 minutes from the last time it was used.

To display the contents of the M770 ATM Switch’s IP ARP cache, use the ip arpcache show command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>ip arpcache show

Deleting an entry from the Avaya M770 ATM Switch’s IP ARP cache

When you delete an entry from a M770 ATM Switch IP ARP cache that still has IP traffic on it, there will be a short delay while the ARP process finds the remote host and the IP address is added to the ARP cache again.

Note: If an IP address is moved on the network then you should delete the entry in the IP ARP cache to force the M770 ATM Switch to locate the new MAC address.

To delete an entry from the M770 ATM Switch’s IP ARP cache, use the ip arpcache delete command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>ip arpcache delete <address>

Parameters:

<address>

A standard IP address that is to be removed from the ARP
