Configuring ARP

About ARP

ARP resolves IP addresses into MAC addresses on Ethernet networks.

ARP message format

ARP uses two types of messages: ARP request and ARP reply. Figure 1 shows the format of ARP

request/reply messages. Numbers in the figure refer to field lengths.

Figure 1 ARP message format

•

Hardware type—Hardware address type. The value 1 represents Ethernet.

•

Protocol type—Type of the protocol address to be mapped. The hexadecimal value 0x0800

represents IP.

•

Hardware address length and protocol address length—Length, in bytes, of a hardware

address and a protocol address. For an Ethernet address, the value of the hardware address

length field is 6. For an IPv4 address, the value of the protocol address length field is 4.

•

OP—Operation code, which describes the type of ARP message. The value 1 represents an

ARP request, and the value 2 represents an ARP reply.

•

Sender hardware address—Hardware address of the device sending the message.

•

Sender protocol address—Protocol address of the device sending the message.

•

Target hardware address—Hardware address of the device to which the message is being

sent.

•

Target protocol address—Protocol address of the device to which the message is being sent.

ARP operating mechanism

As shown in Figure 2, Host A and Host B are on the same subnet. Host A sends a packet to Host B as

follows:

1. Host A looks through the ARP table for an ARP entry for Host B. If one entry is found, Host A

uses the MAC address in the entry to encapsulate the IP packet into a data link layer frame.

Then Host A sends the frame to Host B.

2. If Host A finds no entry for Host B, Host A buffers the packet and broadcasts an ARP request.

The payload of the ARP request contains the following information:

 Sender IP address and sender MAC address—Host A's IP address and MAC address.

 Target IP address—Host B's IP address.

 Target MAC address—An all-zero MAC address.

All hosts on this subnet can receive the broadcast request, but only the requested host (Host B)

processes the request.

3. Host B compares its own IP address with the target IP address in the ARP request. If they are

the same, Host B operates as follows:

a. Adds the sender IP address and sender MAC address into its ARP table.

b. Encapsulates its MAC address into an ARP reply.

c. Unicasts the ARP reply to Host A.

4. After receiving the ARP reply, Host A operates as follows:

a. Adds the MAC address of Host B into its ARP table.

b. Encapsulates the MAC address into the packet and sends the packet to Host B.

Figure 2 ARP address resolution process

If Host A and Host B are on different subnets, Host A sends a packet to Host B as follows:

5. Host A broadcasts an ARP request where the target IP address is the IP address of the

gateway.

6. The gateway responds with its MAC address in an ARP reply to Host A.

7. Host A uses the gateway's MAC address to encapsulate the packet, and then sends the packet

to the gateway.

8. If the gateway has an ARP entry for Host B, it forwards the packet to Host B directly. If not, the

gateway broadcasts an ARP request, in which the target IP address is the IP address of Host B.

9. After the gateway gets the MAC address of Host B, it sends the packet to Host B.

ARP entry types

An ARP table stores dynamic ARP entries, OpenFlow ARP entries, Rule ARP entries, and static ARP

entries.

Dynamic ARP entry

ARP automatically creates and updates dynamic entries. A dynamic ARP entry is removed when its

aging timer expires or the output interface goes down. In addition, a dynamic ARP entry can be

overwritten by a static ARP entry.

Static ARP entry

A static ARP entry is manually configured and maintained. It does not age out and cannot be

overwritten by any dynamic ARP entry.

Static ARP entries protect communication between devices because attack packets cannot modify

the IP-to-MAC mapping in a static ARP entry.

The device supports the following types of static ARP entries:

Target IP

192.168.1.1

Target IP

•

Long static ARP entry—It is directly used for forwarding packets. A long static ARP entry

contains the IP address, MAC address, and one of the following combinations:

 VLAN and output interface.

 Input and output interfaces.

•

Short static ARP entry—It contains only the IP address and MAC address.

If the output interface is a Layer 3 Ethernet interface, the short ARP entry can be directly used to

forward packets.

If the output interface is a VLAN interface, the device sends an ARP request whose target IP

address is the IP address in the short entry. If the sender IP and MAC addresses in the received

ARP reply match the short static ARP entry, the device performs the following operations:

 Adds the interface that received the ARP reply to the short static ARP entry.

 Uses the resolved short static ARP entry to forward IP packets.

•

Multiport ARP entry—It contains the IP address, MAC address, and VLAN/VSI information.

The device can use a multiport ARP entry that has the same MAC address and VLAN/VSI as a

multicast or multiport unicast MAC address entry for packet forwarding. A multiport ARP entry is

manually configured. It does not age out and cannot be overwritten by any dynamic ARP entry.

To communicate with a host by using a fixed IP-to-MAC mapping, configure a short static ARP entry

on the device. To communicate with a host by using a fixed IP-to-MAC mapping through an interface

in a VLAN, configure a long static ARP entry on the device.

OpenFlow ARP entry

ARP creates OpenFlow ARP entries by learning from the OpenFlow module. An OpenFlow ARP

entry does not age out, and it cannot be updated. An OpenFlow ARP entry can be used directly to

forward packets. For more information about OpenFlow, see OpenFlow Configuration Guide.

Rule ARP entry

Rule ARP entries can be directly used for packet forwarding. A Rule ARP entry does not age out, and

it cannot be updated. It can be overwritten by a static ARP entry.

ARP creates Rule ARP entries by learning from the following modules:

•

Portal. For more information about portal, see Security Configuration Guide.

•

VXLAN. For more information about VXLAN, see VXLAN overview in VXLAN Configuration

Guide.

•

OVSDB. For more information about OVSDB, see OVSDB-VTEP configuration in VXLAN

Configuration Guide.

Configuring a static ARP entry

Static ARP entries are effective when the device functions correctly.

Configuring a short static ARP entry

Restrictions and guidelines

A resolved short static ARP entry becomes unresolved upon certain events, for example, when the

resolved output interface goes down, or the corresponding VLAN or VLAN interface is deleted.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Configure a short static ARP entry.

arp static ip-address mac-address [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

[ description text ]

Configuring a long static ARP entry

About this task

Long static ARP entries can be effective or ineffective. Ineffective long static ARP entries cannot be

used for packet forwarding. A long static ARP entry is ineffective when any of the following conditions

exists:

•

The IP address in the entry conflicts with a local IP address.

•

No local interface has an IP address in the same subnet as the IP address in the ARP entry.

A long static ARP entry for a VLAN is deleted if the VLAN or VLAN interface is deleted.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Configure a long static ARP entry.

Configuring a multiport ARP entry

About this task

A multiport ARP entry contains an IP address, MAC address, output interface, and VLAN ID/VSI

information. The VLAN and output interfaces are specified by a multiport unicast MAC address entry

or a multicast MAC address entry. For more information about multiport unicast MAC address entries,

see Layer—2 LAN Switching Configuration Guide. For more information about multicast MAC

address entries, see IGMP snooping configuration in IP Multicast Configuration Guide.

A multiport ARP entry can overwrite a dynamic, short static or long static ARP entry. Conversely, a

short static or long static ARP entry can overwrite a multiport ARP entry.

Restrictions and guidelines

For a multiport ARP entry to be effective for packet forwarding, make sure the following conditions

are met:

•

A multiport unicast MAC address entry or a multicast MAC address entry exists.

•

The multiport ARP entry must have the same MAC address and VLAN/VSI setting as the

multiport unicast MAC address entry or the multicast MAC address entry.

•

The IP address in the multiport ARP entry must reside on the same subnet as the VLAN

interface of the specified VLAN.

When you configure multiport ARP entries in an overlay network, first specify VSI gateway services

for a service loopback group.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Configure a multiport unicast MAC address entry or a multicast MAC address entry.

 Configure a multiport unicast MAC address entry in a common network.

mac-address multiport mac-address interface interface-list vlan

Configuring features for dynamic ARP entries

Setting the dynamic ARP learning limit for a device

About this task

A device can dynamically learn ARP entries. To prevent a device from holding too many ARP entries,

you can set the maximum number of dynamic ARP entries that the device can learn. When the limit

is reached, the device stops ARP learning.

If you set a value lower than the number of existing dynamic ARP entries, the device does not delete

the existing entries unless they age out. You can use the reset arp dynamic command to clear

dynamic ARP entries.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Set the dynamic ARP learning limit for the device.

arp max-learning-number max-number slot slot-number

By default, the device can learn a maximum of 163840 dynamic ARP entries.

To disable the device from dynamic ARP learning, set the value to 0.

Setting the dynamic ARP learning limit for an interface

About this task

An interface can dynamically learn ARP entries. To prevent an interface from holding too many ARP

entries, you can set the maximum number of dynamic ARP entries that the interface can learn. When

the limit is reached, the interface stops ARP learning.

You can set limits for both a Layer 2 interface and the VLAN interface for a permitted VLAN on the

Layer 2 interface. The Layer 2 interface learns an ARP entry only when neither limit is reached.

The total dynamic ARP learning limit for all interfaces will not be higher than the dynamic ARP

learning limit for the device.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

3. Set the dynamic ARP learning limit for the interface.

arp max-learning-num max-number [ alarm alarm-threshold ]

By default, an interface can learn a maximum of 163840 dynamic ARP entries.

To disable the interface from dynamic ARP learning, set the value to 0.
