Configuring and Monitoring ARP

This chapter describes how to configure and monitor ARP protocol activity and how to use the ARP monitoring commands. It includes the following sections:


Accessing the ARP Configuration Environment

For information on how to access the ARP configuration environment, see "Getting Started" in Nways Multiprotocol Access Services Software User's Guide.

Use the following procedure to access the ARP configuration process.

  1. At the OPCON prompt, enter talk 6. (For more details on this command, refer to "The OPCON Process and Commands"in Nways Multiprotocol Access Services Software User's Guide.) For example:
        * talk 6
        Config>
     
    

    After you enter the talk 6 command, the CONFIG prompt (Config>) displays on the terminal. If the prompt does not appear when you first enter configuration, press Return again.

  2. At the CONFIG prompt, enter the prot arp command to get to the ARP Config> prompt.

ARP and Inverse ARP Configuration Commands

This section describes the ARP configuration commands for non-ATM networks. Table 38 lists the ARP configuration commands. You can access ARP configuration commands at the ARP config> prompt.
Note:These commands are not used to configure ARP for Classical IP, IPX and Bridging on ATM interfaces. However, they can be used to configure ARP for ATM LAN Emulation clients.

Add Entry

Use the add entry command to add a "static protocol-to-hardware address mapping" entry. This command is currently supported for IP addresses only.

Syntax:

add entry
ifc# prot-type prot-addr MAC-addr IP-encapsulation-type

ifc#
Valid values: Any defined interface

Default value: 0

prot-type
Valid values: Any protocol that ARP supports.

Default value: IP

prot-addr
Valid Values: Any valid IP address

Default Value: 0

MAC-addr
Valid Values: Any valid MAC address

Default Value: None

IP encapsulation type

This option appears only when you are configuring an Ethernet interface. You should select the IP encapsulation type that matches the kind of encapsulation that is performed by the host. Refer to "Configuring and Monitoring the Ethernet Network Interface" in the Nways Multiprotocol Access Services Software User's Guide for more information.

Valid Values: Ether or ieee-802.3

Default Value: Ether. The configured value is effective only if the encapsulation of the network interface is both. Otherwise, this value defaults to the encapsulation type that is configured on the network interface regardless of the value configured for the host.

Example: add entry

            Interface Number [0]?
            Protocol [IP]?
            IP Address [0.0.0.0]?
            Mac Address []?
            IP Encapsulation type (ETHER/IEE-802.3) [ETHER]?
 

Change Entry

Use the change entry command to change a "static protocol-to-hardware address mapping" entry. This command is currently supported for IP addresses only. The hardware address parameter (MAC-addr) should be the address of the node being changed.

Syntax:

change entry
ifc# prot-type prot-addr MAC-addr IP-encapsulation-type

ifc#
Valid values: Any defined interface

Default value: 0

prot-type
Valid values: Any protocol that ARP supports.

Default value: IP

prot-addr
Valid Values: Any valid IP mask

Default Value: None

MAC-addr
Valid Values: Any valid MAC address

Default Value: None

IP encapsulation type
This option appears only when you are configuring an Ethernet interface. You should select the IP encapsulation type that matches the kind of encapsulation that is performed by the host.

Valid Values: Ether or ieee-802.3

Default Value: Ether. The configured value is effective only if the encapsulation of the network is both. Otherwise, this value defaults to the encapsulation type that is configured on the network interface regardless of the value configured for the host.

Delete Entry

Use the delete entry command to delete a "static protocol-to-hardware address mapping" entry. This command is currently supported for IP addresses only.

Syntax:

delete entry
ifc# prot-type prot-addr

ifc#
Valid values: Any defined interface

Default value: 0

prot-type
Valid values: IP or IPX

Default value: IP

prot-addr
Valid Values: Any valid IP address

Default Value: 0.0.0.0

Example: delete entry

            Interface Number [0]?
            Protocol [IP]?
            IP Address [0.0.0.0]?

Disable Auto-Refresh

Use the disable auto-refresh command to disable the auto-refresh function. The auto-refresh function is the router's capability to send an ARP request based on the entry in the translation cache before the refresh timer expires. The request is sent directly to the hardware address in the current translation instead of a broadcast. If auto-refresh is disabled, no 'preemptive' ARP request is made, the refresh timer is allowed to expire, and the ARP translation is purged from the table. The next protocol packet to the destination protocol address will then cause a new ARP request to be broadcast on the network.

Syntax:

disable auto-refresh

Example: disable auto-refresh

Enable Auto-Refresh

Use the enable auto-refresh command to enable the auto-refresh function. The auto-refresh function is the router's capability to send an ARP request based on the entry in the translation cache before the refresh timer expires. The request is sent directly to the hardware address in the current translation instead of a broadcast.

Enabling auto-refresh could cause entries to be retained in the cache regardless of their usage. On networks with a large number of nodes, this can lead to an excessive number of entries in the cache, which might adversely affect router performance. However, on networks with a small number of nodes, this option is useful in reducing broadcast ARP traffic.

Syntax:

enable auto-refresh

Example: enable auto-refresh

List

Use the list command to display the contents of the router's ARP configuration as stored in SRAM. The list command displays the current timeout settings for the refresh and usage timer.

Syntax:

list
all
config
entry

all
Lists the ARP configuration followed by all of the ARP entries.

Example: list all

            ARP configuration:
 
            Refresh Timeout: permanent
            Auto Refresh: disabled
 
            Mac address translation configuration
            IF #           Prot #         Protocol --> Mac Address  IP-Encap(1)
             0                0           2.2.2.1 --> 0000C90932EF  Ether
(1) IP encapsulation is displayed only for Ethernet interfaces that have been configured statically.

config
Lists the configuration for the different ARP parameters.

Example: list config

            ARP configuration:
 
            Refresh Timeout: 5 minutes
            Auto refresh: disabled

entry
Lists the ARP entries in SRAM.

Example: list entry

            Mac address translation configuration
 
            IF #           Prot #         Protocol --> Mac Address
             0                0           2.2.2.1 --> 0000C90932EF

Set

Use the set command to set an ARP configuration parameter.

Syntax:

set
refresh-timer

refresh-timer minutes
Changes the timeout value for the refresh timer.

To change the timeout value for the refresh timer, enter the timeout value in minutes. A setting of zero (0) turns off (disables) the refresh timer.

This timer is used in determining when an ARP translation cache entry is to be refreshed while auto-refresh is enabled, or purged while auto-refresh is disabled. Disabling the timer causes entries to be retained until a newly learned address translation causes entries to be removed, until entries are cleared manually with the ARP clear monitoring command, or until the router is restarted.

Valid Values: An integer number of minutes in the range of 0 to 65535

Default Value: 5 minutes

Example: set refresh-timer 3


ARP Over ATM Configuration Commands

This section describes the ARP Over ATM configuration commands. These commands apply to:

Enter the commands at the ARP Config> prompt.

Differences for IP and IPX

Configuring IPX over ATM (using RFC 1483) is similar to configuring Classical IP (RFC 1577).

Once you enter "IPX" as the protocol, some subsequent questions are different than those for protocol "IP." Because IPX over ATM does not use ARP Servers, questions relating to ARP Servers are not asked.

Also, IPX over ATM requires fewer parameters to be configured than Classical IP. The IPX network number and the IPX host number (IPX ATM-ARP-client) are the only required parameters for IPX over ATM. If you need to open a connection to a remote IPX router, you must additionally configure the desired channels (VCCs).

Effect on ARP Table Entries

These commands apply only to the physical ATM interface where the ARP entries reside for ARP over ATM. These commands will have no effect on a non-ATM interface.

Table 39. ARP Over ATM Configuration Command Summary
 Command   Function 
? (Help) Displays all the commands available for this command level or lists the options for specific commands (if available). See "Getting Help".
 List   Lists all (the current ARP over ATM configuration), lists ARP Servers (for IP only), or lists pvc-atm-arp-entries, svc-atm-arp-entries, atm-arp-client-configuration and redundancy. 
 Add   Adds an arp-server, atm-arp-client-configuration, pvc-atm-arp-entry, svc-atm-arp-entry or redundancy. 
 Change   Changes the atm-arp-client-configuration or redundancy. 
 Delete   Deletes an arp-server, atm-arp-client-configuration,  pvc-atm-arp-entry, svc-atm-arp-entry or redundancy.
 Disable   Disables auto-refresh so that ARP entries will not be refreshed automatically. 
 Enable   Enables auto-refresh so that ARP entries will be refreshed automatically. 
 Set   Sets the refresh-timer for aging ARP entries. 
 Reorder   Selects the primary ARP Server from a given ARP Server list. 
Exit Returns you to the previous command level. See "Exiting a Lower Level Environment".

Add

Use the add command to add an arp-server, atm-arp-client-configuration, svc-atm-arp-entry, or redundancy.

Syntax:

add
arp-server

atm-arp-client-configuration

pvc-atm-arp-entry

svc-atm-arp-entry

redundancy

arp-server private-nsapa local-client-IP-address private-NSAP-address
Adds an arp-server to the client specified or adds a Directly Connected Server (DCS) to an ARP Server.

If the IP address is a client only, the NSAP address is the address of a remote server. Multiple remote servers may be added per client. During initialization, the specified CIP client will place a call to an ARP Server and will use it as a mechanism for resolving IP addresses to ATM addresses.

If the IP address is a server, the NSAP address is the address of a DCS for the Distributed ARP Server. This address must match the SCSP ATM address for the DCS (not the client ATM address). Use the List Server-Groups monitoring command at the SCSP> command prompt under t 5 to determine the SCSP ATM address of a server. See "Monitoring the Server Cache Synchronization Protocol (SCSP)" for additional information.

local-client-IP-address
This value will specify the IP address of the client or server.

Valid Values: Any valid IP address

Default Value: None

private-nsap-address
This field is the Private Network Specified Access Point Address that is the addressing format specified in the UNI Versions 3.0 and 3.1. When configuring DCS, this value is the ATM address of the DCS.

The first byte of the nsapa defines the addressing format, as follows:

First Byte
NSAP Address Format Specification
0x39
DCC ATM Format
0x47
ICD ATM Format
0x45
E.164 ATM Format
Note:This setting corresponds to a client's (IP address/port number) pair.

Default value: None

Example:

    ARP config> add arp-server private-nsapa
    Local Client IP Address [0.0.0.0]? 2.2.3.100
    Private NSAP Address: Specify 40 digits
    ATM Address []? 39840f0000000000000000000410005a3345f3a0
 

atm-arp-client-configuration
Adds atm-arp-client-configuration.

You will be prompted to provide information about the characteristics of the VCCs that will be set up and received by this client or server, the refresh timeout and auto-refresh settings, how the ATM address for this client is determined, Distributed ARP Service parameters,and the frame size that this client can handle.
Note:Any bandwidth or cell parameter that equals zero will be treated as the line speed of the ATM interface.

Default Value:1

Accept sessions from non-configured DCS
Specifies whether this Local Server should accept connections from DCSs that are not explicitly configured.

Valid Values: Yes or No

Default Value: Yes

Hello Interval
Specifies the time in seconds between sending of Hello messages for this Local Server.

Valid Values: 0 to 65535

Default Value: 3

Dead Factor
Specifies the multiple of Hello Intervals after which this server should be considered down by directly connected servers (DCSs).

Valid Values: 0 to 65535

Default Value: 3

SCSP ESI
Specifies whether a universally administered MAC address or a MAC address configured under the ATM interface configuration should be used as the End System Identifier component of the SCSP ATM address. This question is preceded by a list of valid ESIs from which the selection is to be made.

Specifies the time interval between registration requests from the client to the ARP Server.

Valid Values: An integer in the range of 0 to 65535

Default Value: 15

pvc-atm-arp-entry
Adds a PVC and optionally creates permanent ARP Entry if the destination protocol address is specified. For virtual ATM interfaces, you should check the configuration of the real ATM interface where the AVI sits and all the other AVIs configured on the real ATM interface. A new VPI/VCI pair is needed for a new PVC unless you specifically want to share the new PVC traffic with the traffic of an existing PVC.

Notes:

  1. In a Distributed ARP Server LIS, both partners are Distributed ARP Servers.

  2. Configuring ARP Server Redundancy is the same process for the Distributed ARP Server case as for the non-Distributed ARP Server case.

Accessing the ARP Monitoring Environment

Use the following procedure to access the ARP monitoring commands. This process gives you access to the ARP monitoring process.

  1. At the OPCON prompt, enter talk 5. (For more detail on this command, refer to "The OPCON Process" in Nways Multiprotocol Access Services Software User's Guide.) For example:
        * talk 5
        +
    

    After you enter the talk 5 command, the GWCON prompt (+) displays on the terminal. If the prompt does not appear when you first enter configuration, press Return again.

  2. At the + prompt, enter the protocol arp command to get you to the ARP> prompt.

    Example:

        + prot arp
        ARP>
     
    

ARP Monitoring Commands for Non-ATM Networks

This section describes the ARP monitoring commands for non-ATM nets. You can access ARP monitoring commands at the ARP> prompt.
Note:If the device's software load does not contain Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), ATM-related commands are not valid and are not displayed at the ARP configuration and monitoring prompts.
Table 40 shows the commands.

Table 40. ARP monitoring Commands for non-ATM Networks Summary
 Command   Function 
? (Help) Displays all the commands available for this command level or lists the options for specific commands (if available). See "Getting Help".
 Clear   Clear the cache for a specified interface. 
 Dump   Display the cache for a specified interface. 
 Hardware   List each ARP-configured network. 
 Ping   Verify connectivity between the device and the specified end station. 
 Protocol   List each ARP-configured protocol. 
 Statistics   Display ARP information. 
Exit Returns you to the previous command level. See "Exiting a Lower Level Environment".

Clear

Use the clear command to flush the ARP cache for a given network interface.

The clear command can be used to force the deletion of bad transactions.

To clear a particular interface, enter the interface or network number as part of the command. To obtain the interface number, use the CONFIG list devices command.

Syntax:

clear interface#

Example: clear 1

Dump

Use the dump command to display the ARP cache for a given network/protocol combination. To display the ARP cache for a particular interface, enter the interface or network number as part of the command. To obtain the interface number, use the CONFIG list devices command.

If there is more than one protocol on that network, the protocol number must also be given. This causes the monitoring to display the hardware address-to-protocol mappings stored in that database. If ARP is in use by only one protocol on the specified interface, then the protocol number is optional. To obtain the protocol number, use the CONFIG protocol command.

The dump command display shows the hardware address, the protocol address, and the refresh timer parameter for each mapping.

Syntax:

dump interface# protocol#

Example: dump 2 ip

 ARP>du 2 ip
Hardware Address    IP Address  IP-Encap    Refresh  
 02-07-01-00-00-01  1.1.1.1                 19       
 a1-b2-c3-4d-5e-6f  1.1.1.2     ieee 802.3  Permanent
 100                1.1.1.3     ieee 802.3  Permanent
 16                 1.1.1.5                 Not Aging             

Notes:

  1. Valid refresh timer parameters are:

    Permanent
    A statically configured mapping between hardware address and protocol address (entered using the ARP add entry command, or the frame-relay add protocol command, or the X25 add address command). These entries do not age and are not overwritten by dynamically learned mappings.

    minutes to expire
    The number of minutes until this mapping expires due to aging or until this mapping is refreshed (if auto-refresh is enabled). This parameter is expressed as a numeric value.

    Not Aging
    A fixed SVC or PVC mapping learned through Inverse ARP. It begins to age only when the circuit goes down. The mapping can be overwritten by a newer learned address and can be cleared by the ARP clear monitoring command.

  2. IP encapsulation applies only to static ARP entries (those with permanent refresh intervals). See the Talk 6 add entry command for more information.

Hardware

Use the hardware command to display the networks registered with ARP. The hardware command lists each ARP-registered network, and displays each network's hardware address space (Hardware AS) and local hardware address.

Syntax:

hardware

Example: hardware

            Network       Hardware AS    Hardware Address
 
            1 FR/0          000F            1023
            5 TKR/0         0006            00:00:C9:09:32:EF
            8 Eth/0         0001            AA-00-04-00-26-14
            9 IPPN/0        2048            128.185.214.38
           10 BDG/0         0001            00-00-93-90-4C-F7
Note:The IPPN entry refers to IP Tunneling where the hardware address field indicates the IP address of the IP Tunnel.

Ping

Use the ping command to have the router send ICMP Echo Requests to a given destination. For more information on the ping command, see "Ping".

Protocol

Use the protocol command to display (by network) the protocols that have addresses registered with ARP. This command displays the network, protocol name, protocol number, protocol address space (in hexadecimal), and local protocol addresses.

Syntax:

protocol

Example: protocol

            Network  Protocol (num)  AS    Protocol Address(es)
            5 TKR/0  IP       (00)   800    128.185.209.38
            6 TKR/1  IP       (00)   800    10.1.181.38
            8 Eth/0  IP       (00)   800    128.185.221.38
            8 Eth/0  AP2      (22)   80F3   221/38
Note:SR entries refer to Source Routing - the protocol address is used to indicate the MAC address. Use the token-ring dump command to view actual RIF entries.

Statistics

Use the statistics command to display a variety of statistics about the operation of the ARP module.

Syntax:

statistics

Example: statistics

            ARP input packet overflows
            Net   Count
             PPP/0  0
             PPP/1  0

 TMOs:Rfrsh   Displays the count of entries deleted due to a timeout of the refresh timer. 

ARP Over ATM Monitoring Commands

This section describes the ARP over ATM (CIP) monitoring commands. It describes the monitoring commands for:

The monitoring commands for IPX over ATM are essentially the same as those for Classical IP and ARP. The main difference is the format of protocol addresses:

Note:The ping command for IPX over ATM is different from that used for Classical IP and ARP. The IPX version of the ping command is available at the IPX monitoring. You can access ARP monitoring commands at the ARP> prompt. Table 41 shows the commands.

For further information, refer to "Classical IP and ARP Over ATM (RFC 1577)" and "IPX and ARP Over ATM Overview (RFC 1483)". For additional information on ARP over ATM, and for illustrations showing logical and physical network configurations, refer to Nways Multiprotocol Access Services Software User's Guide

Delete

Use the delete command to immediately bring down an active channel. A new channel may or may not be brought up to replace the old one depending on the conditions.

Delete a specific channel off of the Active Channel List. One should use great care when invoking this option. The channel specified by the VPI/VCI is deleted if it is found on the active channel list. Before deletion, the channel is released with a normal hang-up cause code. All ARP entries that are dependent on this particular channel are also deleted.

Syntax:

delete

Example: delete

    ARP> del 0
    VPI, Range 00..FF [00]?
    VCI, Range 0000..FFFF [0000]? 0020
    Channel found and deleted

Display

Use the display command to display all of the channels (VCCs) associated with a single ATM interface.

Syntax:

            Target Protocol Addresses: 3.4.4.4 

P/S
P means that this channel is a PVC. S means that this channel is an SVC.

List
For internal use.

Flags
For internal use.

VPI/VCI
Virtual Path Identifier and Virtual Channel Identifier of the channel in use.

FwdPcr
The Peak Cell Rate in bps.

FwdScr
The Sustained Cell Rate in bps.

MaxSDUsz
The maximum SDU size for this channel. All packets transmitted or received on this interface must be less than or equal to this size less the 8-byte header prefix used by RFC 1483.

Control
T if this is a control channel (channel to the ARP server). F if this is a data channel (channel to another client).

P2P
T if this channel is point-to-point. F if this channel is point-to-multipoint.

Active Channel List
These channels are true connections with the remote party. Data can flow over these connections with the traffic parameters shown.

New Channel List
These channels are in the process of being connected with the other end. No data may flow over them until they are moved to the active list.

PVC Channel List
These are channels which have been specifically configured as PVCs. They take on the client characteristics for Data Channels as defined in the client configuration.

Client Address
This is the protocol address of the local client attached to this VCC.

Target Protocol Address
This is the protocol address of the remote client attached to this VCC.

Dump

Use the dump command to show which ATM channels are being used for sending datagrams, and their corresponding destination IP addresses.

This table represents the entire ARP table for a physical ATM network running Classical IP. The hardware address is the resultant VCC identifier (VPI/VCI) for an active channel. That is, all traffic that is to be sent to the IP address will be transmitted out on the associated channel (listed under Hardware Address).
Note:If the host on the other end of the channel sends either a request or reply with its own address, we will automatically reset the refresh time to its maximum value.

Syntax:

dump

Example: dump

 ARP>du 0
Hardware Address  IP Address          Refresh      Origin Srvrid   Seq number
  0/0               1.1.1.1            19               1.1.1.1      868997267
  0/0               1.1.1.2            permanent        1.1.1.2      868997028
  0/0               1.1.1.3            permanent        1.1.1.2      868997028
  0/35              1.1.1.5            20               1.1.1.2      868997042

Under Refresh, the time specified is the approximate time before the ARP entry is aged out (in minutes). If autorefresh is turned on, then an ARP request or an InATMARP request will be sent out 30 seconds before the expiration. If a reply is received before expiration, the Refresh time is reset, and the ARP entry remains. If no reply is received, or if autorefresh is turned off, the ARP entry will be deleted when it expires. It will be recreated as required.

The following are valid Refresh states:

Hardware Address
Specifies the hardware addresses registered with the ARP. If "0/0" appears under the Hardware Address, there is no channel open for this ARP entry.

Refresh States

Origin Server Id
The DCS ID (IP address for IBM products) of the server that originated this cache entry. It is possible that if a client registers with multiple servers, there will be more than one cache entry for that client's IP address. There will be one entry for each server with which the client registers, but each will have a different Origin ID.

Seq. Number
The current sequence number of the corresponding SCSP cache entry (in decimal). This number should match on all servers in the server group for this particular cache entry.

Hardware

Use the hardware command to list all of the ATM addresses associated with each configured IP client.

Syntax:

hardware

Example: hardware

ARP> hardware
    Network         Hardware AS     Hardware Address
    0 ATM/0         0013            39.84.0F.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.01.
                                    10.00.5A.00.DE.AD.C8  (IP 1.1.1.100)
    1 IPPN/0        0800            1.1.1.100
 

Network:
The physical network number.

Hardware AS:
The hardware type used in the ARP packets to classify this network. For ARP over ATM, the AS type is 0x13 (decimal 19).

Hardware Address:
The hardware address. Typically, this address is a MAC address for other networks, but for ATM, this address is the ATM address associated with a specific client. In the example, the IP client, 1.1.1.100, is accessed by calling the corresponding ATM address 39.84.0F.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.01.10.00.5A.00.DE.AD.C8.

Ping

Use the ping command to verify connectivity between the device and the specified end station.

Ping works exactly as it does over any of the other networks. It sends out an ICMP echo request every second, and displays statistics of the corresponding replies. Note that the source address in the request will contain the client's address that most closely matches the subnet of the destination.

Syntax:

ping

Example: ping

    ARP> ping 1.1.1.2
    PING 1.1.1.100 -> 1.1.1.2: 56 data bytes, ttl=64, every 1 sec.
    56 data bytes from 1.1.1.2: icmp_seq=0. ttl=64. time=19. ms
    56 data bytes from 1.1.1.2: icmp_seq=1. ttl=64. time=11. ms
 
    ----1.1.1.2 PING Statistics----
    2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max = 11/15/19 ms
 

Protocol

Use the protocol command to list all the client addresses on each of the network interfaces. This is exactly the same as for other interfaces. For an ATM interface, the list of Protocol Addresses are all of the CIP clients configured on this interface.

Syntax:

protocol

Example: protocol

The following fields are displayed from the Redundancy monitoring:

If:
Specifies the interface number.

Prot:
Specifies the protocol.

Addr:
Specifies the IP Address of the client.

Place Redundancy Call
Indicates if the client will initiate the redundancy call. See page ***.

Real ESI:
Indicates the state of the real ESI. If the state is Up, the client's ATM address registered successfully with the switch. If the state is Down, the client's attempt to register its ATM address with the switch was unsuccessful.

Red. ESI:
Indicates the state of the Redundancy ESI. If the state is Up, the Redundancy channel ATM address registered successfully with the switch. If the state is Down, the Redundancy channel ATM address did not register successfully with the switch.

Red. Chnl:
Indicates the state of the of the Redundancy channel. If the state is Up, the Redundancy channel is set up between the primary and secondary. If the state is Down, the Redundancy channel is not set up between the primary and secondary.

Red Channel
Provides the VPI/VCI of the Redundancy channel.

Red. Channel Source ATM address:
Identifies the ATM address of the source Redundancy channel.

Red. Channel Target ATM address:
Identifies the ATM address of the target Redundancy channel.

Redundancy Status:
Identifies the status of redundancy.

Active
Providing ARP Services.

Inactive
Not providing ARP Services.

Partner Server ESI:
Identifies a locally administered ESI that is to be used as the ESI component of the partner ARP Server ATM address when the partner ARP Server fails.

Partner Server SEL:
Identifies the Selector portion of the ESI and selector configured on the partner device. This field is displayed for backup or peer ARP Server only.

Redundancy Default IP Gateway Address:
Specifies the default IP gateway address. This is the default gateway address configured in the clients served by this ARP Server. This address enables the ARP Server to provide routing function from one subnet to another subnet.

Statistics

Use the statistics command to display statistics of the ARP code over all of the network interfaces. These statistics are the same as the statistics in the ARP code over any of the other interfaces as described in "Statistics".

Syntax:

ARP over ATM Dynamic Reconfiguration Support

This section describes dynamic reconfiguration (DR) as it affects Talk 6 and Talk 5 commands.

CONFIG (Talk 6) Delete Interface

ARP over ATM supports the CONFIG (Talk 6) delete interface command with the following consideration:

When an ATM or Virtual ATM interface is deleted, all ATM ARP client, PVC, SVC and redundancy information related to that interface is deleted.
