ARP
Dell Networking OS uses two forms of address resolution: address resolution protocol (ARP) and Proxy ARP.
ARP runs over Ethernet and enables endstations to learn the MAC addresses of neighbors on an IP network. Over time, Dell
Networking OS creates a forwarding table mapping the MAC addresses to their corresponding IP address. This table is called the
ARP Cache and dynamically learned addresses are removed after a dened period of time.
For more information about ARP, refer to RFC 826, An Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol.
In Dell Networking OS, Proxy ARP enables hosts with knowledge of the network to accept and forward packets from hosts that
contain no knowledge of the network. Proxy ARP makes it possible for hosts to be ignorant of the network, including subnetting.
For more information about Proxy ARP, refer to RFC 925, Multi-LAN Address Resolution, and RFC 1027, Using ARP to Implement
Transparent Subnet Gateways.
Conguration Tasks for ARP
For a complete listing of all ARP-related commands, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.
Conguration tasks for ARP include:
• Conguring Static ARP Entries (optional)
• Enabling Proxy ARP (optional)
• Clearing ARP Cache (optional)
• ARP Learning via Gratuitous ARP
• ARP Learning via ARP Request
• Conguring ARP Retries
Conguring Static ARP Entries
ARP dynamically maps the MAC and IP addresses, and while most network host support dynamic mapping, you can congure an
ARP entry (called a static ARP) for the ARP cache.
To congure a static ARP entry, use the following command.
• Congure an IP address and MAC address mapping for an interface.
