Dell S4048T, Configuration Manual

Page: 508 / 1277

To view if Proxy ARP is enabled on the interface, use the
show config
command in INTERFACE mode. If it is
not listed in the
show config
command output, it is enabled. Only non-default information is displayed in
the
show config
command output.
Clearing ARP Cache
To clear the ARP cache of dynamically learnt ARP information, use the following command.
• Clear the ARP caches for all interfaces or for a specific interface by entering the following information.
EXEC privilege
clear arp-cache [ interface | ip ip-address ] [no-refresh]
•
ip ip-address
(OPTIONAL): enter the keyword
ip
then the IP address of the ARP entry you wish
to clear.
•
no-refresh
(OPTIONAL): enter the keywords
no-refresh
to delete the ARP entry from CAM. Or
to specify which dynamic ARP entries you want to delete, use this option with
interface
or
ip
ip-address
.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet
then the slot/port[/
subport] information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE
then the slot/port information.
• For a port channel interface, enter the keywords
port-channel
then a number.
• For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword
vlan
then a number from 1 to 4094.
NOTE: Transit traffic may not be forwarded during the period when deleted ARP entries are resolved again
and re-installed in CAM. Use this option with extreme caution.
ARP Learning via Gratuitous ARP
Gratuitous ARP can mean an ARP request or reply.
In the context of ARP learning via gratuitous ARP on Dell Networking OS, the gratuitous ARP is a request. A
gratuitous ARP request is an ARP request that is not needed according to the ARP specification, but one that
hosts may send to:
• detect IP address conflicts
• inform switches of their presence on a port so that packets can be forwarded
• update the ARP table of other nodes on the network in case of an address change
In the request, the host uses its own IP address in the Sender Protocol Address and Target Protocol Address
fields.
