Command summary
Command Description
arp ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol. This is an IP protocol
used to bind an IP address to Ethernet/802.3 addresses.
ARP uses broadcast messages to determine the MAC address
corresponding to a particular internetwork address. Ethernet or 802
LANs use ARP to dynamically discover media addresses and IP
addresses.
The
arp command yields a table showing the MAC addresses,
associated IP addresses and age of each entry that the Nokia A032
has detected. Since the associations are dynamically discovered, all
ARP tables have an aging process, which removes entries from the
table after a period of inactivity.
arp nat This produces an arp table for machines outside the firewall (only if
using NAT LAN or NAT Air).
bridge The bridge command is fully described in Appendix B – Wireless
bridges and repeaters.
broadcast Puts the Nokia A032 into a special test mode. The format is:
broadcast IP_address
This causes the Nokia A032 to generate a continuous stream of UDP
packets to the specified IP address (this could be a wireless station,
a computer on your wired LAN, or even on the Internet).
To terminate the broadcast, type Ctrl-C.
This is useful for site survey work – you can broadcast to a wireless
station, moving it around to test your network coverage.
Important: This command effectively disables all other wireless
stations, as the broadcast data occupies all available wireless
bandwidth.
Note: Issuing a
broadcast command with no IP address
parameter sends packets to all wireless stations.
config Displays current system configuration settings.
config+ This works like the config command but shows the settings that will
take effect on the next restart.
date Sets the current. date:
date mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy
