4.1 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Commands
This chapter provides a detailed explanation of the ARP commands. The commands are divided by
functionality into the following different groups:
z Show commands are used to display switch settings, statistics and other information.
z Configuration Commands are used to configure features and options of the switch. For every con-
figuration command there is a show command that will display the configuration setting.
z Copy commands are used to transfer configuration and informational files to and from the switch.
4.1.1 arp
This command creates an ARP entry. The value for <ipaddress> is the IP address of a device on a
subnet attached to an existing routing interface.
<macaddr> is a unicast MAC address for that device.
The format is 6 two-digit hexadecimal numbers that are separated by colons, for example
00:06:29:32:81:40.
Format arp <ipaddress> <macaddr>
Mode Global Config
4.1.1.1 no arp
This command deletes an ARP entry. The value for <arpentry> is the IP address of the interface. The
value for
<ipaddress> is the IP address of a device on a subnet attached to an existing routing
interface.
<macaddr> is a unicast MAC address for that device.
Format no arp <ipaddress> <macaddr>
Mode Global Config
4.1.2 ip proxy-arp
This command enables proxy ARP on a router interface.
Without proxy ARP, a device only responds to an ARP request if the target IP address is an address
configured on the interface where the ARP request arrived. With proxy ARP, the device may also
respond if the target IP address is reachable. The device only responds if all next hops in its route to the
destination are through interfaces other than the interface that received the ARP request.
Default enabled
Format ip proxy-arp
Mode Interface Config
4.1.2.1 no ip proxy-arp
This command disables proxy ARP on a router interface.
Format no ip proxy-arp
Mode Interface Config
