arp ethernet

To statically map an IP address to the physical machine address of an Ethernet host on the local network, enter the arp ethernet command in Global Configuration mode. To clear a static IP address, use the no form of this command.

arp ethernet ip-address mac-address slot#/port#

no arp ethernet ip-address mac-address

Syntax Description

ip-address	IP address of the host.
mac-address	MAC address of the host.
slot#	Slot on the Server Switch that holds the Ethernet gateway that connects to the host.
port#	Ethernet gateway port that connects to the host.

Defaults

This command has no default settings.

Command Modes

Global Configuration (config) mode.

Usage Guidelines

Platform Availability:

Cisco SFS 3001, Cisco SFS 3012

Privilege Level:

Ethernet read-write user.

The Server Switch supports dynamic ARP so that any IP host that connects to an Ethernet gateway port may see or detect all the other connected IP and IPoIB hosts.

An ARP table contains the available ARP records in the gateway. An ARP record may be dynamically learned or statically created. In most cases, you can rely upon dynamic ARP addressing. Dynamic ARP records may be deleted from the table after a period of time, or updated, if a host address-change occurs.

Examples

SFS-7000P(config)# arp ethernet 10.2.0.50 00:30:48:23:A9:0A 4/1

Command Modes

Global Configuration (config) mode, Ethernet Interface Configuration (config-if-ether) submode, Gateway Interface Configuration (config-if-gw) mode.

Usage Guidelines

Platform Availability:

Cisco SFS 3001, Cisco SFS 3012

Privilege Level:

Ethernet read-write user.

Create bridge-groups to associate specific Ethernet gateway ports with Ethernet switch ports. Bridge Groups are used to associate the InfiniBand fabric with an Ethernet subnet.

Examples

The following example creates a bridge group and uses auto-detect to discover all available subnets:

SFS-7000P(config)# bridge-group 61

The following example assigns a subnet prefix to a bridge group:

SFS-7000P(config)# bridge-group 61 subnet-prefix 61.0.0.0 16

The following example disables multicast forwarding for a bridge-group:

SFS-7000P(config)# no bridge-group 61 multicast 

The following example assigns bridge group 62 to the Ethernet interface slot 6, port 2:

SFS-7000P(config-if-ether-6/2)# bridge-group 62 

The following example assigns bridge group 62 to the internal gateway interface slot 6, ports 1 and 2:

SFS-7000P(config-if-gw-6)# bridge-group 62

The following example assigns a bridge group to a redundancy group and configures the failover priority of the bridge group:

SFS-7000P(config)# bridge-group 11 redundancy-group 11 fail-over-priority 10

distribution-type

To configure the type of load distribution that your Ethernet gateway uses to communicate with a Link Aggregation-aware switch, enter the distribution-type command in Trunk Interface Configuration submode.

distribution-type {dist-ip | dst-mac | src-dst-ip | src-dst-mac | src-ip | src-mac | round-robin}

Syntax Description

dst-ip	Bases the load distribution on the destination IP address of the incoming packet. Packets to the same destination travel on the same port, but packets to different destinations travel on different ports in the channel.
dst-mac	Bases the load distribution on the destination host MAC address of the incoming packet. Packets to the same destination travel on the same port, but packets to different destinations travel on different ports in the channel.
src-dst-ip	Bases load distribution on the IP address of the source logic gate (XOR) destination.
src-dst-mac	Bases load distribution on the MAC address of the source logic gate (XOR) destination.
src-ip	Bases the load distribution on the source IP address. Packets from the same source travel on the same port, but packets from different sources travel on different ports in the channel.
src-mac	Bases load distribution on the source MAC address of the incoming packet.Packets from different hosts use different ports in the channel, but packets from the same host use the same port in the channel.
round-robin	Bases the load distribution on a circular pattern to create an evenly distributed load.

Defaults

The distribution-type defaults to src-mac.

Command Modes

Trunk Interface Configuration (config-if-trunk) submode.

Usage Guidelines

Platform Availability:

Command Modes

Ethernet Interface Configuration (config-if-ether) submode, Ethernet Management Interface Configuration (config-if-mgmt-ethernet) submode, InfiniBand Management Interface (config-if-mgmt-ib) submode, Global Configuration (config) mode.

Usage Guidelines

Platform Availability:

Privilege Level:

Ethernet read-write user.

•You can only assign an IP address to one port at a time.

•Assign a DNS name and servers to support network name resolution.

•The maximum transmission unit dictates payload size. TCP uses the MTU to determine the maximum payload allowed for every transmission. Too great a value can overwhelm routers and result in data retransmission. Too small a value results in degraded performance because there are more headers and acknowledgements required to transmit the same amount of data.

•ConfigureIP routes to hosts that reside one or more hops away from your Server Switch.

Examples

The following example assigns the IP address 10.3.0.24 and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to ethernet card 4 port 1:

SFS-7000P(config-if-ether-4/1)# ip address 10.3.0.24 255.255.255.0

The following example assigns the domain name shasta to the Server Switch:

SFS-7000P(config)# ip domain-name "shasta"

The following example configures your Server Switch to use a primary DNS:

SFS-7000P(config)# ip name-server-one 10.3.103.22

The following example configures your Server Switch to use a secondary DNS:

SFS-7000P(config)# ip name-server-two 10.3.103.23

The following example configures a static route on which to forward IP packets:

SFS-7000P(config)# ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.1.0
