Command Reference ARP Commands
This function is disabled by default.
Interface configuration mode.
If an interface of the switch is used as the gateway of its downlink devices and counterfeit
gateway behavior occurs in the downlink devices, you can configure to send the free ARP
request message regularly on this interface to notify that the switch is the real gateway.
The following example sets to send one free ARP request to SVI 1 per second.
Ruijie(config)# interface vlan 1
Ruijie(config-if)# arp gratuitous-send interval 1
The following example stops sending the free ARP request to SVI 1.
Ruijie(config)# interface vlan 1
Ruijie(config-if)# no arp gratuitous-send
Use this command to set the frequency for sending the arp request message locally, namely, the
time interval between two continuous ARP requests sent for resolving one IP address. Use the no
form of this command to restore the default setting.
arp retry interval seconds
Time for retransmitting the ARP request message in the range from
1 to 3600 in the unit of seconds.
Global configuration mode.
The switch sends the ARP request message frequently, and thus causing problems like network
busy. In this case, you can set the retry interval of the ARP request message longer. In general, it
should not exceed the aging time of the dynamic ARP entry.
The following example sets the retry interval of the ARP request as 30 seconds.
