Configuring A Network Port; Enabling Periodic Gateway Probe; Specifying The Ip Addresses Of Servers - HPE FlexNetwork 7500 Series Security Configuration Manual

Step

Configuring a network port

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
interface view or Layer 2
aggregate interface view.
3. Configure the port as a
network port.

Enabling periodic gateway probe

You can configure the MFF device to detect gateways every 30 seconds for the change of MAC
addresses by sending forged ARP packets. The ARP packets use 0.0.0.0 as the sender IP address
and bridge MAC address as the sender MAC address.
This feature is supported by MFF in both manual and automatic modes.
To enable periodic gateway probe:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VLAN view.
3. Enable periodic gateway
probe.

Specifying the IP addresses of servers

Perform this task to ensure communication between the servers and clients.
Specify the IP addresses of the following items if they are in the network:
•
DHCP servers.
•
Servers providing some other service.
•
Interfaces on a router in a VRRP group.
When the MFF device receives an ARP request from a server, the device searches IP-to-MAC
address entries it has stored. Then the device replies with the requested MAC address to the server.
