Parameter Description
ARP Sets the aging time for dynamic ARP entries.
Proxy ARP Enables or disables Proxy ARP globally for the switch. This feature allows
the switch to forward an ARP request from a node in the attached
subnetwork (that does not have routing or a default gateway configured)
to a remote subnetwork. (See “Proxy ARP” on chapter 4.)
If Proxy ARP is globally enabled for the switch, then you can enable or
disable it for a specific interface. See “Adding an IP Interface” on chapter
2, or “Modifying an IP Interface” on chapter 2.
RIP Enables or disables the Routing Information Protocol. The Advanced
menu sets the interval at which the switch advertises known routes, and
also enables / disables advertising for static routes or the default route.
OSPF Enables or disables the OSPF routing protocol. The Advanced menu
organizes an autonomous system into normal, stub, or not so stubby
areas; configures a range of subnet addresses for which link state
advertisements can be aggregated; and configures virtual links for areas
that do not have direct physical access to the OSFP backbone, to add
redundancy, or to merge backbone areas.
DHCP Relay Enables or disables BOOTP / DHCP Relay. The Advanced menu defines
the preferred servers or the outbound subnetworks for broadcasting a
BOOTP / DHCP request.
IGMP
Snooping
Enables or disables IGMP Snooping. The Advanced menu sets the
timeout for inactive multicast ports or for specific multicast flows when
there are no longer any clients. See chapter 2 “Configuring IGMP
Snooping”.
DVMRP Enables or disables the Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol.
Once RIP, OSPF and DVMRP have been globally enabled, you can enable or disable
them for any specific subnet via the Subnet Configuration menu (chapter 2 “Adding an
