– In Advanced Configuration > Advanced Setup, enable “Preserve new IP configura- tion on all switch resets,” to retain the switch’s IP interface when you restore factory defaults. This setting preserves the management port’s IP address in the management module’s memory, so you maintain connectivity to the management module after a reset.
Page 24: Establishing An Ssh Connection
The switch can do only one session of key/cipher generation at a time. Thus, a SSH/SCP client will not be able to login if the switch is doing key generation at that time or if another client has just logged in before this client. Similarly, the system will fail to do the key generation if a SSH/SCP client is logging in at that time.

Alteon OS Command Reference /cfg/l3/arp ARP Configuration Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the TCP/IP protocol that resides within the Internet layer. ARP resolves a physical address from an IP address. ARP queries machines on the local network for their physical addresses. ARP also maintains IP to physical address pairs in its cache memory.
Page 259: Arp Static Configuration
Static ARP entries are permanent in the ARP cache and do not age out like the ARP entries that are learnt dynamically. Static ARP entries enable the switch to reach the hosts without sending an ARP broadcast request to the network.

(with preemption enabled). Tracking can be very valuable in an active/active configuration. You can track the following: BMD00007, November 2007 ifs: Active IP interfaces on the GbE Switch Module (increments priority by 2 for each) ports: Active ports on the same VLAN (increments priority by 2 for each)
Page 382 A shared address between two devices utilizing VRRP, as defined in RFC 2338. One vir- tual router is associated with an IP interface. This is one of the IP interfaces that the switch is assigned. All IP interfaces on the GbE Switch Module must be in a VLAN. If there is more than one VLAN defined on the GbE Switch Module, then the VRRP broadcasts will only be sent out on the VLAN of which the associated IP interface is a member.
