arp-internal-priority
Configures the priority of ingress ARP packets.
Syntax arp-internal-priority priority-value
Command Default The default priority of ingress ARP packets is 4.
Parameters priority-value
Specifies the priority value of the ingress ARP packets. It can take a value in the inclusive
range of 0 to 7, where 7 is the highest priority.
Modes Global configuration mode
Usage Guidelines High traffic volume or non-ARP packets with a higher priority may cause ARP packets to be dropped,
thus causing devices to become temporarily unreachable. You can use this command to increase the
priority of ingress ARP packets. However, if the priority of ARP traffic is increased, a high volume of
ARP traffic might cause drops in control traffic, possibly causing traffic loops in the network.
Stacking packets have a priority value of 7 and have higher precedence over ARP packets. If the ARP
packets have priority value 7 in a stack system, they will be treated as priority value 6 packets when
compared to stacking packets.
This command does not affect the priority of egress ARP packets.
You cannot change the priority of ingress ARP packets on the management port.
Examples The following example shows the priority of ingress ARP packets set to value 7.
Brocade(config)# arp-internal-priority 7
