Table 4-4. Bridge Options (3 of 3)
ARP (Parameters and Add ARP Entry) A-E-E (A and B)
Select Parameters (A) or ARP Entry (B)
Parameters (A)
Gives the user the ability to configure general Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache
parameters.
Complete Entry Timeout (minutes) – Length of time that a complete entry remains in
the ARP Table before removal. A complete entry is one for which there is a MAC
address and a node has responded to the ARP request.
Range = 1–200,000 minutes (Default = 20).
Incomplete Entry Timeout (minutes) – Length of time in minutes that an incomplete
entry remains in the ARP table before being removed. (An incomplete entry is an entry
without a MAC address.) This is also the amount of time that a packet will remain in the
system while waiting for address resolution.
Range = 1–255 minutes (Default = 3).
NOTE: If you have made changes to this screen, you must do a card reset for the
changes to be in effect.
ARP Entry (Add ARP Entry) (B)
Gives the user the ability to add entries into the ARP cache.
Item – Enter 0 (zero) to add a new record.
IP Address – nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format.
MAC Address – xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx format.
VNID – Enter a VNID ID between 2–4094 (Default = Null). There must be an entry
made in this field.
Trailer – Yes/No (Default = No).
Perm – Yes/No (Default = No). If you select Yes for Permanent and No for Proxy, the
ARP entry will be saved in NVRAM (up to 32 entries). These are loaded when the card
resets.
NOTE: For the Add ARP Entry (B) screen, all other information entered is not
stored in the non-volatile memory and will be lost when you reset the card.
