Adding Entries to the ARP Table
The
add
subcommand is used to manually add an IP address entry to the ARP Table. To be
able to manage your switch over an IP network connection, you will need at least one IP
address configured for the switch.
Follow the steps below to add an address to the ARP Table.
1.
Enter
add
.
The following prompt displays:
Host name or IP addr to add:
Enter the name of the host or its IP address.
2.
The following prompt displays:
Physical address (format aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff):
Enter the host’s physical address in hexadecimal format.
3.
The following prompt displays:
Publish (i.e., proxy for) this entry? (y/n) (n):
Enter
y
to publish (i.e., proxy for) this ARP entry. This feature allows the switch to answer
all ARP requests directed at the hosts on a subnetwork. As the “proxy” for these hosts, the
switch responds with its own MAC address whenever ARP requests come in for any of the
hosts on the subnetwork. Enter
n
if you do not want this ARP entry to act as a proxy.
4.
The following prompt displays:
Is this entry permanent (ie. flush will not remove it) (y/n)? (n) :
Enter
y
if this entry is to be permanent (that is, you do not want it to be removed by the
Flush
subcommand). Enter
n
if the entry is to be temporary (that is, you want to allow it
to be removed by the
Flush
subcommand). All of the entries in the table, whether they are
permanent or temporary, survive across switch reboots. Therefore, you must use the
Delete
subcommand when you want to remove permanent entries from the table.
5.
The following prompt displays:
Use trailer encapsulation on this host (y/n)? (n) :
Enter
y
if you want to use trailer encapsulation on this host. Enter
n
if you do not want to
use trailer encapsulation on this host.
6.
The system then confirms the addition to the table (an example is shown below).
ARP table entry for host 198.206.184.35 successfully added
7.
The
xlat
submenu redisplays:
Enter command (Add/Delete/Show/Flush/Macfind/Ipfind/Quit) (Show) :
