Select Parameters (A) or ARP Entry (B)

Parameters (A)

Gives the user the ability to configure general Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache parameters.

Complete Entry Timeout (minutes) ± Length of time that a complete entry remains in the ARP Table before removal. A complete entry is one for which there is a MAC address and a node has responded to the ARP request.

Range = 1±200,000 minutes (Default = 20).

Incomplete Entry Timeout (minutes) ± Length of time in minutes that an incomplete entry remains in the ARP table before being removed. (An incomplete entry is an entry without a MAC address.) This is also the amount of time that a packet will remain in the system while waiting for address resolution.

Range = 1±255 minutes (Default = 3).

NOTE: If you have made changes to this screen, you must do a card reset for the changes to be in effect.

ARP Entry (Add ARP Entry) (B)

Gives the user the ability to add entries into the ARP cache.

Item ± Enter 0 (zero) to add a new record.

IP Address ± nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format.

MAC Address ± xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx format.

VNID ± Enter a VNID ID between 2±4094 (Default = Null). There must be an entry made in this field.

Trailer ± Yes/No (Default = No).

Perm ± Yes/No (Default = No). If you select Yes for Permanent and No for Proxy, the ARP entry will be saved in NVRAM (up to 32 entries). These are loaded when the card resets.

NOTE: For the Add ARP Entry (B) screen, all other information entered is not stored in the non-volatile memory and will be lost when you reset the card.
