Creating Static RARP Entries

You must configure the RARP entries for the RARP table. The routing switch can send an IP address in reply to a client’s RARP request only if create a RARP entry for that client.

To configure static RARP entries, use the following methods.

USING THE CLI

To assign a static IP RARP entry for static routes on an HP routing switch, enter a command such as the following:

HP9300(config)# rarp 1 1245.7654.2348 192.53.4.2

This command creates a RARP entry for a client with MAC address 1245.7654.2348. When the routing switch receives a RARP request from this client, the routing switch replies to the request by sending IP address 192.53.4.2 to the client.

Syntax: rarp <number> <mac-addr>.<ip-addr>

The <number> parameter identifies the RARP entry number. You can specify an unused number from 1 to the maximum number of RARP entries supported on the device. To determine the maximum number of entries supported on the device, see the “Configuring Basic Features” chapter of the Installation and Getting Started Guide.

The <mac-addr> parameter specifies the MAC address of the RARP client.

The <ip-addr> parameter specifies the IP address the routing switch will give the client in response to the client’s RARP request.
