Using the Telnet Console

To view the ARP table

1.From the Main Menu, select Network Monitoring ARP Table and press Enter.

2.Enter the IP interface name and the IP address, highlight FIND, and press Enter. The following information is displayed in the table.

Column

Description

 

 

Interface

The IP interface name corresponding to the IP address.

 

 

IP Address

The IP address that corresponds to the MAC address.

 

 

MAC Address

The MAC address that corresponds to the IP address.

 

 

Type

The method that was used to enter the IP address and MAC address pair

into the ARP table. The possible entries are Static, Dynamic, and Local.

 

 

 

3.To delete an entry from the table, enter its information in the fields, highlight CLEAR, and press Enter.

Status

To view GVRP status

From the Main Menu, select Network Monitoring GVRP and press Enter. The GVRP Status screen contains the following information.

Field

Description

 

 

Number of IEEE 802.1Q VLANs

The number of VLANs that have been defined for the

switch.

 

 

 

IEEE 802.1Q VLAN ID

The ID assigned to the currently displayed VLAN.

 

 

Current Egress Ports

The ports in the VLAN that are egress ports.

 

 

Current Untagged Ports

The ports in the VLAN that are untagged.

 

 

 

The status of the VLAN, whether it is a permanent

Status

definition or whether the ports dynamically joined the

 

VLAN.

 

 

Creation time since switch power up

The time the VLAN was created or last modified,

relative to when the switch was last booted.

 

 

 

Note: If more than one IEEE 802.1Q VLAN has been defined for the switch, use CTRL+N to view the status of the other VLANs.

To view the router ports

Router ports can be either static or dynamic. Static ports are ports that you manually configure to route UDP multicast packets. Dynamic ports are added by the switch when the switch detects UDP multicast packets and IGMP multicast group membership reports on a port.

1.From the Main Menu, select Network Monitoring Router Ports and press Enter.

2.In the VLAN Name field, enter the name of the VLAN to search for router ports. Highlight FIND and press Enter.
