Administering the ARP Cache 10-11
Removing the
Default Route You can remove a module’s default route.
Be careful when you remove a module’s default route. If a system’s
routing table does not contain a default route — either statically
configured or learned using RIP or OSPF — then the module cannot
forward a packet that matches no routing table entries. When this
occurs, the module drops the unroutable packet and sends an ICMP
destination unreachable
message to the host that sent the packet.
To remove a default route, from the top level of the Administration
Console, enter:
ip route noDefault
The default route is immediately removed from the table.
Administering the
ARP Cache
The CoreBuilder 2500 system uses the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
to find the MAC addresses that correspond to the IP addresses of hosts
and routers on the same subnetworks. An ARP cache is a table of known
IP addresses and their corresponding MAC addresses.
Displaying the
ARP Cache
To display the contents of the ARP cache, from the top level of the
Administration Console, enter:
ip arp display
