Chapter38 Configuring IP Unicast Routing Configuring IP Addressing
To remove an entry from the ARP cache, use the no arp ip-ad dress hard w are-addre ss type global
configuration command. To remove all nonstatic entries from the ARP cache, use the clear arp-cache
privileged EXEC command.
Set ARP Encapsulation
By default, Ethernet ARP encapsulation (represented b y the arpa ke ywor d) is en abled on an IP inter face.
You can change the encapsulation methods to SNAP if required by your network.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to specify the ARP encapsulation type:
To disable an encapsulation type, use the no arp arpa or no arp snap interface configuration command.
Step3 arp ip-address hardware-address type [alias] (Optional) Specify that the switch respond to ARP requests as if
it were the owner of the specified IP address.
Step4 interface interface-id Enter interface configuration mode, and specify the interface to
configure.
Step5 arp timeout seconds (Optional) Set the length of time an ARP cache entry will stay in
the cache. The default is 14400 seconds (4 hours). The range is
0 to 2147483 seconds.
Step6 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step7 show interfaces [interface-id] Verify the type of ARP and the timeout value used on all
interfaces or a specific interface.
Step8 show arp
or
show ip arp
View the contents of the ARP cache.
Step9 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 interface interface-id Enter interface configuration mode, and specify the Layer 3
interface to configure.
Step3 arp {arpa | snap} Specify the ARP encapsulation method:
arpa—Address Resolution Protocol
snap—Subnetwork Address Protocol
Step4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step5 show interfaces [interface-id] Verify ARP encapsulation configuration on all interfaces or
the specified interface.
Step6 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
