Configuring IP

This display shows the following information.

Table 6.10: Web Display of IP Interface Information

This Field...

Displays...

 

 

Port #

The physical port number or virtual interface (VE) number. VEs are

 

shown as “v<num>”, where <num> is the number you assigned to the

 

VE when you configured it. For example, VE 1 is shown as “v1”.

 

If a range of ports is listed in this field, the interface is a trunk group. If

 

two ranges of ports are listed, the interface is a trunk group that spans

 

multiple chassis modules.

 

 

Encapsulation

The frame type used to encapsulate packets on this interface. The

 

frame type is always Ethernet II.

 

 

MTU

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), which specifies the

 

maximum packet size for packets sent and received on this interface.

 

 

Metric

The cost associated with this interface.

 

 

Directed Broadcast Forward

The state of the directed broadcast forwarding feature. The state can

 

be one of the following:

 

•

Disable

 

•

Enable

 

To change the state of this feature, see “Enabling Forwarding of

 

Directed Broadcasts” on page 6-32.

 

 

 

Displaying ARP Entries

You can display the ARP cache and the static ARP table. The ARP cache contains entries for devices attached to the routing switch. The static ARP table contains the user-configured ARP entries. An entry in the static ARP table enters the ARP cache when the entry’s interface comes up.

The tables require separate display commands or Web management options.

Displaying the ARP Cache

To display the ARP cache, use one of the following methods.

USING THE CLI

To display the contents of the ARP cache, enter the following command at any CLI level:

HP9300# show arp

Total number of ARP entries: 5

Syntax: show arp [ethernet <portnum> mac-address <xxxx.xxxx.xxxx> [<mask>] <ip-addr> [<ip-mask>]] [<num>]

The ethernet <portnum> parameter lets you restrict the display to entries for a specific port.

The mac-address<xxxx.xxxx.xxxx> parameter lets you restrict the display to entries for a specific MAC address.
