Paradyne 8540, 8546 manual IP Router Options 4

RADSL Card Configuration

Table 3-5. IP Router Options (4 of 4)

ARP (Parameters, Add Entry, and Delete Entry) A-E-D (A-E-A to A-E-C)

Select:

Parameters (A)

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

Complete Entry Timeout (minutes) – 1–200000 (Default = 20).

Incomplete Entry Timeout (minutes) – 1–255 (Default = 3).

Default Route Entry Timeout (minutes) – 1–20 (Default = 1). This is the time, in minutes, that a default route is to remain in the ARP table. If the default route entry times out without being referenced, an ARP request is sent to the next hop router. If no response is received, the default route entry is removed from the ARP table and the RADSL card switches to the next reachable default route with the highest preference.

NOTE: If you have made changes to this screen, you must do a card reset.

Add Entry (Add ARP Entry) (B)

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

IP Address/Host Name – nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format.

MAC Address – xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx format.

Trailers – Yes/No (Default = No).

Proxy – Yes/No (Default = No).

Perm – Yes/No (Default = No). If you select yes for Perm and no to proxy, the ARP entry will be saved in NVRAM (up to 32 entries). These are loaded when the card reboots.

Add Entry? – Enter Yes to add an entry or No to exit.

Add another Entry? – Enter Yes to add another entry or No to exit.

Delete Entry (Delete ARP Entry)(C)

Allows you to delete entries line by line in the ARP cache. The screen displays columns for Line, IP Address, Ethernet Address, Min, and Delete.

Select the line you want to delete, select Yes/No, and press Enter.

NOTE: For the Add and Delete ARP Entry screens, any information entered is not stored in NVRAM and will be lost when you reset the card.

Host Table (IP Host Table) A-E-E

Allows you to define mappings between IP addresses and host names. The host table can be used to hold the host name to IP address translation for telnet sessions out from the card. In this way, you can connect to foreign hosts by name, rather than by IP address. An alternative to populating this table is to define a DNS server (see A-A-B).

Enter the IP Address and Host Name in nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format and press Enter after each entry.

NOTE: You have to confirm the save for any changes to take effect.
