Setup Guide

CONFIGURATION mode
ip name-server ip-address [ip-address2 ... ip-address6]
The order you entered the servers determines the order of their use.
•
When you enter the traceroute command without specifying an IP address (Extended Traceroute), you are prompted for a
target and source IP address, timeout in seconds (default is 5), a probe count (default is 3), minimum TTL (default is 1), maximum TTL
(default is 30), and port number (default is 33434).
CONFIGURATION mode
traceroute [host | ip-address]
To keep the default setting for these parameters, press the ENTER key.
Example of the traceroute Command
The following text is example output of DNS using the traceroute command.
Dell#traceroute www.force10networks.com

ARP
The system uses two forms of address resolution: address resolution protocol (ARP) and Proxy ARP.
ARP runs over Ethernet and enables endstations to learn the MAC addresses of neighbors on an IP network. Over time, the system creates
a forwarding table mapping the MAC addresses to their corresponding IP address. This table is called the ARP Cache and dynamically
learned addresses are removed after a dened period of time.
For more information about ARP, refer to RFC 826, An Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol.
Proxy ARP enables hosts with knowledge of the network to accept and forward packets from hosts that contain no knowledge of the
network. Proxy ARP makes it possible for hosts to be ignorant of the network, including subnetting.
For more information about Proxy ARP, refer to RFC 925, Multi-LAN Address Resolution, and RFC 1027, Using ARP to Implement
Transparent Subnet Gateways.
Conguration Tasks for ARP
For a complete listing of all ARP-related commands, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.
Conguration tasks for ARP include:
• Conguring Static ARP Entries (optional)
• Conguring ARP Inspection Trust
• Conguring ARP Retries
• Conguring the Timer for Resending Unresolved ARPs
