ProSafe M4100 and M7100 Managed Switches
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure ARP and to view ARP information
about the switch. ARP associates IP addresses with MAC addresses and stores the
information as ARP entries in the ARP cache.

arp

This command creates an ARP entry. The value for <ipaddress> is the IP address of a
device on a subnet attached to an existing routing interface. <macaddr> is a unicast MAC
address for that device.
The format of the MAC address is 6 two-digit hexadecimal numbers that are separated by
colons, for example 00:06:29:32:81:40.
Format arp <ipaddress> <macaddr>
Mode
no arp
This command deletes an ARP entry. The value for <arpentry> is the IP address of the
interface. The value for <ipaddress> is the IP address of a device on a subnet attached to
an existing routing interface. <macaddr> is a unicast MAC address for that device.
Format no arp <ipaddress> <macaddr>
Mode

ip local-proxy-arp

This command enables local-proxy-arp on interface or range of interfaces. The switch only
responds if all next hops in its route to the destination are through interfaces other than the
interface that received the ARP request. Enabling local proxy ARP removes this restriction..
Default
Format ip local-proxy-arp
Mode
no ip local-proxy-arp
