ip mac-address
Example
This example shows how to enable proxy ARPMatrix>Router(config)#interface vlan 1 on VLAN 1:
Matrix>Router(config-if(Vlan 1))#ip proxy-arp
ip mac-address
Use this command to set a MAC address on an interface.
Syntax
ip mac-address address
no ip mac-address
Parameters
address
Defaults
None.
Mode
Router command, Interface configuration: Matrix>Router(config‐if(Vlan 1))#
Usage
By default, every routing interface uses the same MAC address. If the user needs interfaces to use
different MAC addresses, this command will allow it. It is the user's responsibility to select a MAC
address that will not conflict with other devices on the VLAN since the Enterasys Matrix Series
device will not automatically detect this conflict.
The "no" form of this command clears the MAC address.
Example
This example shows how to set an IP MAC address of 000A.000A.000B. on VLAN 1:
Matrix>Router(config)#interface vlan 1
Matrix>Router(config-if(Vlan 1))#ip mac-address 000A.000A.000B
arp timeout
Use this command to set the duration (in seconds) for entries to stay in the ARP table before
expiring.
Syntax
arp timeout seconds
no arp timeout seconds
Specifies a 48‐bit MAC address in hexadecimal format.
