6.Click the Apply button to apply the change to the device’s running-config file.

7.Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog, then select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory

AppleTalk ARP Retransmit Interval

You can modify the interval between the transmission of ARP packets. Possible values are from 1 – 120 seconds. The default is 1 second.

EXAMPLE:

To modify the ARP retransmission interval from the default value (1) to 15 seconds, use one of the following methods.

USING THE CLI

HP9300(config)# appletalk arp retransmit-interval 15

Syntax: appletalk arp retransmit-interval <1-120>

AppleTalk Glean Packets

When you enable the glean packet parameter on an AppleTalk router, the router tries to learn the MAC address from the packet instead of sending out an ARP request. The glean packets parameter is disabled by default.

EXAMPLE:

To enable glean packets, use one of the following methods.

USING THE CLI

HP9300(config)# appletalk glean-packets

Syntax: appletalk glean-packets
