Creating Static RARP Entries
You must configure the RARP entries for the RARP table. The Layer 3 Switch can send an IP address in reply to
a client's RARP request only if create a RARP entry for that client.
To configure static RARP entries, use the following methods.
USING THE CLI
To assign a static IP RARP entry for static routes on a Foundry router, enter a command such as the following:
BigIron(config)# rarp 1 1245.7654.2348 192.53.4.2
This command creates a RARP entry for a client with MAC address 1245.7654.2348. When the Layer 3 Switch
receives a RARP request from this client, the Layer 3 Switch replies to the request by sending IP address
192.53.4.2 to the client.
Syntax: rarp <number> <mac-addr>.<ip-addr>
The <number> parameter identifies the RARP entry number. You can specify an unused number from 1 to the
maximum number of RARP entries supported on the device. To determine the maximum number of entries
supported on the device, see "Displaying and Modifying System Parameter Default Settings" on page 10-70.
The <mac-addr> parameter specifies the MAC address of the RARP client.
The <ip-addr> parameter specifies the IP address the Layer 3 Switch will give the client in response to the client's
RARP request.
