CONFIG Commands

For example, inclusion of subnet masks in RIP packets and implementation of
multicasting instead of broadcasting. This last feature reduces the load on hosts
which do not support routing protocols.

This command is only available when address mapping for the specified virtual
circuit is turned “off”.

Specifies whether the 3220-H should use Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
broadcasts to update its routing tables with information received from other rout-
ers on the other side of the PPP link.

This command is only available when address mapping for the specified virtual
circuit is turned “off”.

.

Specifies whether the 3220-H should flush (delete) entries from its routing table
when the specified virtual circuit is down and those routes are inaccessible.

This command is only available when address mapping for the specified virtual
circuit is turned “off”.

Static ARP Settings

Your Cayman Gateway maintains a dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
table to map IP addresses to Ethernet (MAC) addresses. Your Cayman Gateway
populates this ARP table dynamically, by retrieving IP address/MAC address pairs
only when it needs them. Optionally, you can define static ARP entries to map IP
addresses to their corresponding Ethernet MAC addresses. Unlike dynamic ARP
table entries, static ARP table entries do not time out.

You can configure as many as 16 static ARP table entries for a Cayman Gateway.
Use the following commands to add static ARP entries to the Cayman Gateway
static ARP table:

Specifies the IP address for the static ARP entry. Enter an IP address in the

ip_address

argument in dotted decimal format. The

ip_address

argument

cannot be 0.0.0.0.

Specifies the Ethernet hardware address for the static ARP entry. Enter an Ethernet
hardware address in the

MAC_address

argument in

nn.nn.nn.nn.nn.nn

(hexadecimal) format.
