3-12 CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURING MANAGEMENT ACCESS TO THE SYSTEM
Flushing ARP Cache Entries
You might want to delete all entries from the ARP cache if the MAC address
has changed.
To remove all entries from the ARP cache, enter the following command
from the top level of the Administration Console:
ip arp flush
The ARP cache entries are immediately removed from the table.
Setting the RIP
Mode
You can select a RIP mode that is appropriate for your network. RIP can
operate in one of two modes:
■ Off — The station ignores all incoming RIP packets and does not generate
any RIP packets of its own.
■ Passive — The station processes all incoming RIP packets and responds to
explicit requests for routing information, but it does not broadcast periodic
or triggered RIP updates.
RIP default mode By default, RIP operates in passive mode.
To set the RIP operating mode:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip rip
2 Enter the RIP mode (off or passive). To use the value in brackets, press
[Return] at the prompt.
See the following example:
Select RIP mode (off, passive) [passive]: off
Pinging an IP
Station
Once you have set up your IP interface, you might want to check to see if
the Switch 2200 system can communicate with other systems over the IP
network. To check, you can “ping” the IP address of your management
station.
