–
ip
ip-address
(OPTIONAL): enter the keyword
ip
then the IP address of the ARP entry you
wish to clear.
–
no-refresh
(OPTIONAL): enter the keywords
no-refresh
to delete the ARP entry from CAM. Or
to specify which dynamic ARP entries you want to delete, use this option with
interface
or
ip
ip-address
.
– For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet
then the slot/port
information.
– For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE
then the slot/port information.
– For a port channel interface, enter the keywords
port-channel
then a number.
– For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword
vlan
then a number from 1 to 4094.
NOTE: Transit traffic may not be forwarded during the period when deleted ARP entries are resolved
again and re-installed in CAM. Use this option with extreme caution.
ARP Learning via Gratuitous ARP
Gratuitous ARP can mean an ARP request or reply.
In the context of ARP learning via gratuitous ARP on Dell Networking OS, the gratuitous ARP is a request.
A gratuitous ARP request is an ARP request that is not needed according to the ARP specification, but one
that hosts may send to:
• detect IP address conflicts
• inform switches of their presence on a port so that packets can be forwarded
• update the ARP table of other nodes on the network in case of an address change
In the request, the host uses its own IP address in the Sender Protocol Address and Target Protocol
Address fields.
In Dell Networking OS versions prior to 8.3.1.0, if a gratuitous ARP is received some time after an ARP
request is sent, only RP2 installs the ARP information. For example:
1.
At time t=0 Dell Networking OS sends an ARP request for IP
A.B.C.D
2.
At time t=1 Dell Networking OS receives an ARP request for IP
A.B.C.D
3.
At time t=2 Dell Networking OS installs an ARP entry for
A.B.C.D
only on RP2.
Beginning with Dell Networking OS version 8.3.1.0, when a gratuitous ARP is received, Dell Networking
OS installs an ARP entry on all three CPUs.
Enabling ARP Learning via Gratuitous ARP
