4.5.6.2 Protocol Configuration
Use the Protocol Configuration screen to globally enable or disable unicast or multicast routing protocols
for the switch.
Parameter Description
ARP Sets the aging time for dynamic ARP entries.
Proxy ARP Enables or disables Proxy ARP globally for the switch. This feature allows the
switch to forward an ARP request from a node in the attached subnetwork (that
does not have routing or a default gateway configured) to a remote subnetwork.
(See “6.2.5 Proxy ARP”.)
If Proxy ARP is globally enabled for the switch, then you can enable or disable it
for a specific interface. See “4.5.6.1.1 Adding an IP Interface”, or “4.5.6.1.3
Modifying an IP Interface”.
RIP Enables or disables the Routing Information Protocol. The Advanced menu sets
the interval at which the switch advertises known routes, and also
enables/disables advertising for static routes or the default route.
OSPF Enables or disables the OSPF routing protocol. The Advanced menu organizes
an autonomous system into normal, stub, or not so stubby areas; configures a
range of subnet addresses for which link state advertisements can be aggregated;
and configures virtual links for areas that do not have direct physical access to the
OSFP backbone, to add redundancy, or to merge backbone areas.
DHCP Relay Enables or disables BOOTP/DHCP Relay. The Advanced menu defines the
preferred servers or the outbound subnetworks for broadcasting a BOOTP/DHCP
