Software Upgrade Commands
Note The commands for your model may vary slightly from what is shown
in this manual. Some models may not include all of the features mentioned. Refer to the Getting Started Guide for your device to see which
features are available.
Software Upgrade Command
To perform a software upgrade from the CLI, there must be a TFTP server to which the unit has access. The
software image file must be placed on the TFTP server. The following command is available from the root
mode:
Table 3. Software Upgrade - CLI Command
Command Explanation
Trinity# copy tftp://<serverip>/<filename> {flash:|flash-cfg:}
This command starts the software upgrade. <serverip> is the
IP address of a TFTP server that contains the software image.
<filename> is the name of the software image file on the
TFTP server. If flash-cfg: is specified, the box will also be
restored to the factory default configuration.
The following is example output:
Transferring file...
Installing file...
0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%
+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+
Box will be unresponsive until software upgrade is complete.
Trinity# Done. Rebooting in 5 seconds...
If using telnet, the connection will close after the file transfer and will not be available again until after the
upgrade has completed. Whether performed through the console or a telnet session, the unit will automatically
reboot and begin running the new software.

TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 3 • Authentication
Overview
This chapter describes how to specify the configuration settings for creating/deleting system users, setting user
privilege levels, and displaying existing users.
Note The menu, commands, and features for your model may vary slightly
from what is shown in this manual. Some models may not include all
of the features mentioned. Refer to the Getting Started Guide for your
device to see which features are available.
Configuration Overview
A new user can be added to the system through configuration of one or a combination of the following parameters:
• Username (required): The unique identifier for the user. It must be an alphanumeric string from the set of
characters [0-9a-zA-Z] with no spaces. The maximum allowed length is 32 characters.
• Password (optional): User password associated with the user account. It must be an alphanumeric string
from the set of characters [0-9a-zA-Z] with no spaces. The maximum allowed length is 32 characters. It is
possible to allow an empty password field by choosing the no password option from the Web GUI. In this
case, no password would be required for login.
• Privilege (required): The access group/level associated with the user account. Two user access groups are
provided:
- Superuser access group: Allows for read/write access to the system.
- Monitor access group: Allows for read-only access to the system.
• Description (optional): A short decription for the user account. This option is currently available through
the WMI only. The alphanumeric string can have a maximum length of 32 characters.
Users can be deleted from the system by specifying the username. Add/Delete user operations require superuser
or engineer access level. The show feature displays a list of the existing system users, their privilege level, and
the description field.
To configure Authentication through the WMI,
see the section “Web Management Interface (WMI)” on page 27.

Command Line Interface (CLI)
The CLI configuration is slightly different from the WMI when configuring authentication features. When
adding a new user from the CLI, the command line does not allow for a "description" field to be entered for
new users. All users are added to the system with the description system user.
The CLI provides an extra option to allow passwords to be submitted in MD5 encrypted form. This feature is
not meant to be used for creating new users, but for administrators exporting/importing previously saved configurations to the system.

Debugging Information
The Authentication Manager reports the following debugging information:
• All system level failures are reported as LOG_ERR level SYSLOG messages.
• All failures in authentication and authorization –failing to authenticate, validate, renew, or get session keys–
are reported as LOG_WARNING level SYSLOG messages. These are not messages indicating an error in
the operation of the framework but rather warnings for possible attempts to breech system security or
invalid user/component behavior that requires attention.
• All other messages are DEBUG/INFO level messages. They are meant to provide information on the flow
of events through the system.

TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 5 • SNMP Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) on the Trinity platform. SNMP allows for the exchange of management information between network devices.
Trinity supports the following SNMP MIBs:
– Standard MIB 2
– RFC 1406 - DS1 (T1/E1)
Note The menu, commands, and features for your model may vary slightly
from what is shown in this manual. Some models may not include all
of the features mentioned. Refer to the Getting Started Guide for your
device to see which features are available.
Configuration Overview
To monitor the device using SNMP:
1. Add the SNMPv1/2c communities and/or SNMPv3 users that may access the device.
2. Set the system variables: sysDescription, sysLocation, etc. (optional).
3. Enable the agent.
SNMPv1/2c communities may optionally be limited to certain IP addresses. By default, the IP address and
netmask are set to 0.0.0.0, and requests from the community will be accepted regardless from where they originate. However, if the IP address and netmask are set, the request must originate from the designated address.
Once the steps above have been performed, an SNMP management entity may begin to monitor the device.
To configure SNMP through the WMI,
see the section “Web Management Interface (WMI)” on page 40.
To configure SNMP through the CLI,
see the section “To update system vartiables, enter information for the following fields:” on page 42.

TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 7 • IP Address Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes how to add or remove IP addresses from Ethernet-like interfaces.
Note The menu, commands, and features for your model may vary slightly
from what is shown in this manual. Some models may not include all
of the features mentioned. Refer to the Getting Started Guide for your
device to see which features are available.
Configuration Overview
The user can add or remove IP addresses to and from Ethernet interfaces from both the CLI and the WMI.
The following parameters are configurable when adding an IP address to an Ethernet interface:
• IP address: Standard dotted quad. format (Required)
• Network mask: Standard dotted quad format or slash notation (Defaults to /32)
• Broadcast in the following ways:
"+": auto calculates the high-bit broadcast (Default)
"-": auto calculates the low-bit broadcast
- Dotted quad (dotted quad format) – (Note: The broadcast will not be verified to be correct when using
the dotted quad format).
The following information is available when adding DHCP addresses:
• Accept Routes forces routes supplied to by the DHCP server to be added to the routing table
• Accept DNS forces DNS server supplied by the DHCP server to be added to the DNS pool
• Accept Hostname forces the hostname supplied by the DHCP server to be applied
For DHCP addresses, the user is also able to:
• Release
• Renew
Terms used with IP Interfaces
• Dotted quad (standard dotted quad format): 32-bit IP address split into 4 8-bit integers (0-255) separated
by a '.'. (i.e., 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255)
• Ethernet-like: Interfaces capable of sending L2 ethernet style headers (i.e., Physical ethernet, VLANs,
Bridge Groups, BCP)
• High-bit broadcast: Broadcast address calculated by replacing the masked out bits with 1 (i.e.,
192.168.252.100/24 -> 192.168.252.255)
• Low-bit broadcast: Broadcast address calculated by replacing masked out bits with 0 (i.e.,
192.168.252.100/24 -> 192.168.252.0)
• Net-block: A set of IP addresses logically grouped by a network mask.
Overview 50
TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 7 • IP Address Configuration
• Secondary IP address: For any given net-block, there can be only one primary IP address. That primary IP
is used as a source address for communication initiated by the device. Any additional IP addresses within
the same net-block are considered as secondary addresses and are internally linked to the primary IP address
in that net-block. A Trinity device will respond to secondary IP addresses. If a primary IP is removed, then
all secondaries linked to it are removed as well.
• Slash notation: A special network mask notation allowing a user to specify only the masked bits. (i.e., /0
through /32)
To configure IP interfaces through the WMI,
see the section “Web Management Interface (WMI)” on page 52.
To configure IP interfaces through the CLI,

TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 9 • Bridge Group Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure bridge groups and manage bridge group interfaces.
Note The menu, commands, and features for your model may vary slightly
from what is shown in this manual. Some models may not include all
of the features mentioned. Refer to the Getting Started Guide for your
device to see which features are available.
Configuration Overview
The bridge group configuration on the system can be divided into six groups:
1. Managing a bridge group:
– Adding and deleting a bridge group
– Setting the ageing time value (in seconds, default 300) for the bridge group:
Ageing time is the number in seconds a MAC address will be kept in the forwarding database of the
bridge group after having received a packet from this address.
– Enabling and disabling Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for the bridge group. STP manages links in the
bridge group and prevents loops from occurring in a network.
2. Managing interfaces:
– Attaching and removing an interface to/from a bridge group
– Setting the path cost for an interface:
(The cost of sending/receiving a packet from this interface; also referred to as the port priority).
The faster interfaces should have lower path costs. These values are used in the computation of the minimal spanning tree.
3. Configuring STP:
– Setting the priority of the bridge group (integer between 0-65525, default=32768):
The bridge with the lowest priority is selected as the root bridge in the spanning tree.
– Setting the forwarding delay (in seconds, default=15):
Forwarding delay is the number in seconds spent in each of the listening and learning states, before the
forwarding state is entered.
– Setting the hello interval (in seconds, default=2):
The hello interval is the time a hello packet is sent out of the root bridge. Hello packets are used to com-
municate topology information throughout the entire bridged local area network.
– Setting the maximum message age (in seconds, default=20):
If the last seen hello packet is older than this number of seconds, the bridge in question will start the
procedure to take over as the root bridge in the spanning tree.
– Forward/Drop STP packets on a per interfaces basis:
Configures which interfaces of the bridge group will participate in dissemination of spanning tree information (default all interfaces forward STP packets).
Overview 63
TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 9 • Bridge Group Configuration
4. Configuring the bridge group interface:
– Enable and disable the bridge group interface
– Set MTU size (in bytes)
– Add an IP address to the bridge group interface
– Toggle ARP and MULTICAST flags
5. Monitoring status:
– Displaying current forwarding database
– Displaying current STP configuration
– Displaying bridge group interface configuration
– Displaying existing bridge groups, interfaces enslaved in them, and STP status
6. MAC address filtering:
– Permit and deny packets based on the source MAC address, packet destination MAC address, interface,
egress or ingress direction
All six configuration groups can be accessed via the command line interface (CLI). However, the bridge group
configuration page of the Web Management Interface (WMI) allows access to bridge-group-only configuration. Therefore, IP and other ethernet-like configuration (enable/disable, MTU, etc.) is only possible through
IP and Ethernet WMI pages.
To configure the Bridge Group Mangement component through the WMI,
see the section “Web Management Interface (WMI)” on page 65.

Detailed explanations for table 19:
• Bridge: The bridge command under the interface mode moves the CLI into the bridge group context, cre-
ating a new bridge group if the given bridge group id does not exist in the system. The <id> is a unique positive integer number representing the bridge group. The CLI accepts both <id> and br<id> as valid input.
The no bridge command removes the bridge group from the system.
• Ageing: Under the bridge group context, the ageing command sets the value of the ageing time, where
<value> is in seconds.
• Enable: The enable command enables spanning tree protocol (STP), and also the ARP or Multicast support
on the bridge group interface. Entering [no] in front of the command disables STP, ARP or Multicast support on the interface.
• STP: The stp command sets the values of STP parameters, where <value> is a positive integer for the
bridgeprio parameter, and is in seconds for the hello, maxage, and fwdelay parameters.
• MTU: The mtu command sets the maximum transmission unit size for the packets transmitted through
the bridged interfaces, where <value> is in bytes.
• IP: The ip command adds an IP address to the bridge group interface. When a bridge group has an IP
address, it can act as a routeable network node. Therefore, it becomes possible to send/recieve packets (e.g.
ping) to the bridge group. The no ip command removes the IP address from the bridge group.
Command Line Interface (CLI) 69
TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 9 • Bridge Group Configuration
• Filter: The filter command has two options, mac and stp:
- The filter mac command adds a new MAC address-based filter rule to either permit or deny packets based
on the direction (ingress (incoming) or egress (outgoing)), source MAC address specified in <srcmac>, destination MAC address specificed in <dstmac>, and the interface name <dev>. The no filter mac command
removes the MAC address filter rule from the bridge group.
- The filter stp comand adds a filter to stop forwarding of STP information on the interface <dev>. The no
filter stp command enables forwarding of STP information on the interface.
• Shutdown: The shutdown command disables the bridge group. The bridge group configuration is retained,
but no traffic can be forwarded through the bridged interfaces when disabled. The no shutdown command
enables the bridge group.
• Show: The show command under the bridge group context ccan display MAC address forwarding database,
the STP status, and the MAC address based filter rules. (See figure 31 on page 70 through figure 33).

TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 10 • T1/E1 Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure T1/E1 on the Trinity platform.
Note The menu, commands, and features for your model may vary slightly
from what is shown in this manual. Some models may not include all
of the features mentioned. Refer to the Getting Started Guide for your
device to see which features are available.
Configuration Overview
T1 and E1 ports are used for framing and signaling data. T1 is used primarily in the USA, and it consists of 1
framing timeslot and 23 timeslots that can carry data. E1 is used in most other countries, and it consists of 1
timeslot used for frame syncronization and 31 timeslots that can carry data. In some models, the T1/E1
timeslots are mapped to HDLC channels that can then be used to transport PPP packets.
Configuring HDLC channels over the T1/E1 ports is done using the following steps:
• Select the mode - either T1 or E1
• Configure the framing, line code, line build out, application, and LOS threshold
• Map timeslots to HDLC channels
To configure T1/E1 through the WMI,
see the section “Web Management Interface (WMI)” on page 74.
To configure T1/E1 through the CLI,
see the section “Command Line Interface (CLI)” on page 77.

Configure Clocking
To configure the clock source:
1. Choose an option from the Primary Clock drop-down menu.
– Internal: Use the internal clock as the clock source.
– Primary/Secondary: Use the clock recovered from the primary port, the clock recovered from the sec-
ondary port, or the internal clock. When to use which clock source depends on the fallback mode and
the link state of the primary and secondary ports.
2. Select an option from the Fallback Mode drop-down menu.
– None: Use the primary clock source while the port is up. Otherwise, use the internal clock.
– Fallback: Use the primary clock source until the port goes down. Then, use the secondary clock while
the port is up, and the internal clock otherwise. To use the primary clock source again, the fallback condition must be manually reset.
– Fall-Forward: Use the primary clock source while the port is up. Use the secondary clock source while
the primary port is down. Use the internal clock while both the primary and secondary ports are down.
Note The clock will fall-forward to the primary clock source when the pri-
mary clock source comes back up.
3. Click Update.
Manage Ports

– Line Build Out: Select 0.0 dB, -7.5 dB, -15.0 dB, or -22.5 dB.
This only applies for long-haul applications in T1 mode. It specifies the transmit pulse attenuation. This
is used to prevent cross-talk in the far end.
– LOS Threshold: Select from a range of even-numbered intervals between -4.0 dB to -48.0 dB.
This only applies for long-haul applications, both in T1 and E1 mode. If the signal drops below the
specified level, LOS will be reported.
– Loopback: Select Off, Local Analog, Local Digital, or Network. The Loopback options are test modes
for T1/E1 configuration. The Network Loopback loops the clock and received data from the line and
back to the line. This loopback mode can be used to allow the far end to run a bit error test to test the
link.

– The timeslots may be invalid. For example, 1-31 is a valid
timeslot selection for E1, but not for T1.
– The same T1/E1 timeslot maps to a different timeslot internally
on the pulse-code modulation (PCM) highway.

TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 11 • PPP Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure PPP on the Trinity platform.
Note The menu, commands, and features for your model may vary slightly
from what is shown in this manual. Some models may not include all
of the features mentioned. Refer to the Getting Started Guide for your
device to see which features are available.
Configuration Overview
Trinity supports PPP over HDLC. Before a PPP interface can be used, there must be an HDLC channel to
which it can bind. On some models, the HDLC channels are preconfigured, whereas on others, the user must
explicitly create them.
PPP interfaces can be bridged or routed. When a PPP interface operates in bridged mode, data arriving on the
HDLC channel from a remote device is forwarded to the assigned interface (Ethernet or another bridged PPP).
When a PPP interface is operating in routed mode, data arriving on the HDLC channel is routed to the corresponding interface based on the destination IP address of the arriving packet.
To create a PPP connection, follow these steps:
1. Configure PPP Authentication (Optional)
– PPP allows one peer to demand the other to authenticate itself. The unit supports two authentication
protocols: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) and Password Authentication Protocol (PAP).
– The unit supports dial-in authentication, but not dial-out. The unit can require peers to authenticate,
but it will not authenticate itself to peers.
– PPP Authentication is performed via RADIUS. The unit passes the authentication information received
from the peer to a RADIUS server and either accepts or rejects the peer based on the RADIUS response.
– PPP authentication configuration applies to all PPP interfaces on the unit. There is no way to configure
PPP authentication on a per-interface basis.
2. Create the PPP Interface
3. Configure the PPP Interface
– Select the NCP: either IPCP or BCP.
For BCP, configure the MAC address (optional).
For IPCP, configure the local and peer IP addresses.
– Bind one or more HDLC interfaces for the PPP interface to run on top of. If more than one HDLC
interface is bound, then Multilink Protocol (MLPPP) must be used.
– Enable the PPP interface.
To configure PPP through the WMI,
see the section “Web Management Interface (WMI)” on page 83.
To configure PPP through the CLI,
see the section “Command Line Interface (CLI)” on page 87.
Overview 82
TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 11 • PPP Configuration

2. The Select Devices table shows a list of all HDLC devices, but only the devices that are not bound to
another PPP interface can be selected. The Phase of HDLC devices can be:
- <blank>: The HDLC device is not bound to a PPP interface or the PPP interface to which it is bound is
not enabled.
- Holdoff: Either negotiation failed or the link dropped causing the interface to wait for a period of time
before restarting negotiation.
- Network: LCP negotiation has completed, and either IPCP or BCP negotiation is in progress.
- Authenticate: Either CHAP or PAP negotiation is in progress.
- Running: Either IPCP or BCP negotiation has completed, and the PPP is ready to pass data over the
HDLC interface.
- Multilink Master: The HDLC interface is the multilink bundle master and is ready to pass data.
- Multilink Slave: The HDLC interface is a multilink bundle slave and is ready to pass data.
Web Management Interface (WMI) 85
TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 11 • PPP Configuration
3. For BCP configuration, the Management-Inline checkbox specifies whether or not to attempt to negotiate
the BCP Management-Inline option. Some older PPP implementations do not respond correctly to this
option causing negotiation to fail.
4. For IPCP configuration, both local and peer IP addresses may be configured as:
- IP address specified, Accept unchecked
This causes PPP to attempt to negotiate the specified address and if the peer rejects it, then negotiation
fails.
- IP address left blank, Accept checked
This causes PPP to expect the peer to provide the IP address and if the peer does not, then negotiation
fails.
- IP address specified, Accept checked
This causes PPP to attempt to negotiate the specified address and if the peer rejects it, to accept the
address the peer provides.

Creating the interface
The following commands create a PPP interface:
Table 28. Steps for Creating a PPP Interface - CLI
Command Explanation
1. Trinity# configure Enter the Configuration Mode.
2. Trinity[config]# [no] ppp <id> <id> can be either ppp<number> or just <number>. This
creates interface ppp<number> and enters the PPP Configuration Mode. no ppp <id> deletes an interface.
Configuring PPP negotiation
The following commands determine when PPP will attempt to negotiate:
Table 29. Steps for Configuring PPP Negotiation - CLI
Command Explanation
1. Trinity[ppp-ppp2] [no] passive Causes the interface to wait for the peer to start negotia-
tion. no passive sets the interface to normal operation,
meaning it attempts to negotiate with the peer whether or
not the peer has started negotiation.
2. Trinity[ppp-ppp2] holdoff <seconds> During the holdoff period, no negotiation will take place.
After negotiation fails or LCP determines that the link
needs to drop (either by receiving a termination request
from the peer or by not receiving replies to echo
requests), the interface enters a holdoff period in which it
will neither send packets to nor receive packets from the
peer.
Command Line Interface (CLI) 88
TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 11 • PPP Configuration
Enabling PPP on HDLC interfaces
The following commands specify whether the interface is enabled, and if so, over which HDLC interfaces it
will run:
Table 30. Steps for Enabling PPP on HDLC interfaces - CLI
Command Explanation
1. Trinity[ppp-ppp2] [no] shutdown Disables the PPP interface. This causes the PPP interface
to attempt to gracefully terminate the session with the
peer.
no shutdown enables the PPP interface. If the interface
was already enabled, it will terminate and then restart
using the latest configuration.
Note: Any configuration changes made to the PPP interface while it is enabled will not take effect until the no
shutdown command is executed.
2. Trinity[ppp-ppp2] [no] multilink Enables MLPPP on the interface. This allows the PPP inter-
face to bind to more than one HDLC device.
3. Trinity[ppp-ppp2] multilink min-fragsize <size>
4. Trinity[ppp-ppp2] no multilink minfrag-size

ing HDLC device.
Unless MLPPP is enabled, all HDLC devices bound to this
interface must be unbound before binding another HDLC
device.
If MLPPP is enabled and the PPP link is up, then HDLC
devices may be added while the link is running and they
will start negotiation immediately.

8. Trinity[ppp-ppp2-ipcp] restart <seconds> Sets the IPCP retransmission timeout.
Determines how the IP address will be assigned to the
local or peer interface.
If an IP address is specified and accept is not, then the
PPP interface will attempt to negotiate the address and
if the peer rejects, it will terminate.
If an IP address is not specified and accept is, then the
PPP interface expects the peer to provide the address
during negotiation and if the peer does not, it will terminate.
If both the IP address and accept are specified, then
the PPP interface will attempt to negotiate the address,
but if the peer rejects, it will take the address offered
by the peer.
Sets the number of IPCP Configure-Requests that the

TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 12 • HDLC Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure HDLC channels.
For some TrinityAE models, the H.110 ports act as WAN ports running bridged or routed point-to-point protocol (PPP) connections over HDLC to remote devices. This chapter explains how to create HDLC channels
on that may be used to transport PPP packets.
Note The menu, commands, and features for your model may vary slightly
from what is shown in this manual. Some models may not include all
of the features mentioned. Refer to the Getting Started Guide for your
device to see which features are available
Configuration Overview
To create an HDLC channel, follow these steps:
1. Create the HDLC Channel
2. Configure the HDLC Channel
– On some models, the HDLC interface(s) transmit and receive over the H.110 bus. The H.110 bus con-
sists of 32 streams, each with 128 uni-directional timeslots. Each timeslot is uni-directional (transmit
only or receive only). Each HDLC interface must have H.110 timeslots mapped to transmit to and to
receive from before it can pass data.
To configure HDLC channels through the WMI,
see the section “Web Management Interface (WMI)” on page 96.
To configure HDLC channels through the CLI,
see the section “” on page 97.

HDLC Configuration Commands
Table 36. Steps for Creating/Configuring HDLC Devices - CLI
Command Explanation
1. Trinity# configure Enter the Configuration Mode.
2. Trinity[config]# [no] hdlc <id> <id> can be either hdlc<number> or just a number.
This creates interface hdlc<number> and enters the
HDLC Configuration Mode.
The no form of this command deletes the device. A
device cannot be deleted while it is bound to a PPP interface.
3. Trinity[hdlc-hdlc2]# [no] {tx|rx}
stream <stream> timeslots <firstts>
<numts>
4. Trinity[hdlc-hdlc2]# show Shows the configuration of the HDLC device.
Maps H.110 timeslots to the HDLC device. <stream>
must be 1-32, <firstts> must be 1-128, and <numts>
must be 1-128.
The no form of this command deletes an existing mapping. A device's H.110 mappings cannot be modified
while it is bound to a PPP interface.
Note <firstts> represents the first timeslot.
<numts> represents the number of timeslots.
Example: Trinity[hdlc-hdlc2]# show:
Direction Stream Timeslot Length
--------- ------ -------- ------
Tx 2 1 31
Rx 2 33 31

TrinityAE Administrator’s Reference Guide 13 • ARP Table Management
Overview
This chapter describes how to add and delete ARP entries, display the contents of the ARP Table, and flush the
ARP Table contents.
Note The menu, commands, and features for your model may vary slightly
from what is shown in this manual. Some models may not include all
of the features mentioned. Refer to the Getting Started Guide for your
device to see which features are available.
Configuration Overview
An ARP entry can be added to the table by configuring the following:
• IP address
• Interface device name
• Interface device hardware (Ethernet) address
• State
About ARP Entries
The state of an ARP entry designates whether the entry is temporary or permanent. Temporary entries are
usually the ones added to the table dynamically through address resolution. Temporary entries time-out and
are removed from the ARP table automatically. Permanent entries are the entries that are added to the table by
the user. These entries do not time-out and have to be removed explicitly by the user.
The ARP entries are displayed in a table. The table also displays the type of hardware (e.g. ethernet), a network
mask value (if one exists), and a combination of flags:
• C – Complete – Represents a valid entry; Entry has been successfully resolved.
• M – Manual/Permanent – Permanent entry added by the user.
• P – Published – The network device corresponding to the entry is advertising (publishing) its address.
- This usually happens if the network device is acting as an ARP proxy for other devices. If the device is act-
ing as an ARP proxy to a subnet of devices, the entry might have a netmask value as well.
ARP entries are deleted from the system by selecting them through the Web Management Interface (WMI), or
by using the no arp command in the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI also provides a flush command
to delete all entries at once. When an entry is submitted for deletion, it is not removed from the ARP table
right away. It is marked as a pending deletion and is removed if there are no active connections using it. A temporary entry might be added back to the table immediately if a new connection is established.
To configure ARP through the WMI,
see the section “Web Management Interface (WMI)” on page 100.
To configure ARP through the CLI,
see the section “Command Line Interface (CLI)” on page 101.
