Command Changes
The following table summarises the new and modified commands:
Enhanced Static ARP Entry Filtering on Ports within a
Trunk Group
This Software Version ensures that traffic flow is not interrupted when a port
within a trunk group goes link-down.
In previous Software Versions, when a port that is part of a trunk group goes
link-down, the router or switch drops any traffic that is forwarded by a static
ARP entry out of that port.
In this Software Version, when a port that is part of a trunk group goes
link-down, the router or switch modifies any static ARP entries defined to
forward traffic out of that port. It modifies the egress port for the static ARP
entry to a port which is link-up within the trunk group. This ensures that traffic
can flow without interruption despite the original port going link-down.
