xStack® DES-3500 Series Layer 2 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual Gratuitous ARP Learning This is used to enable/disable updating ARP cache based on the received gratuitous ARP packet. If a switch receives a gratuitous ARP packet and the sender's IP address in its ARP table, it should update the ARP entry. This is Enabled by default. Gratuitous ARP Trap & Log The switch can trap and log IP conflict events to inform the administrator. By default, trap is Disabled and event log is Enabled. Gratuitous ARP Periodical Send Interval This is used to configure the interval for the periodical sending of gratuitous ARP request packets. By default, the interval is 0. After making the desired changes, click Apply to implement the new Gratuitous ARP Table entry. DHCP/BOOTP Relay The relay hops count limit allows the maximum number of hops (routers) that the DHCP/BOOTP messages can be relayed through to be set. If a packet's hop count is more than the hop count limit, the packet is dropped. The range is between 1 and 16 hops, with a default value of 4. The relay time threshold sets the minimum time (in seconds) that the Switch will wait before forwarding a BOOTREQUEST packet. If the value in the second field of the packet is less than the relay time threshold, the packet will be dropped. The range is between 0 and 65535 seconds, with a default value of 0 seconds. DHCP / BOOTP Relay Global Settings To enable and configure DHCP/BOOTP Relay Global Settings on the Switch, click Configuration > Layer 3 IP Networking > DHCP/BOOTP Relay > DHCP/BOOTP Relay Global Settings: Figure 6- 120. DHCP/ BOOTP Relay Global Settings window The following fields can be set: Parameter Description Relay State Relay Hops Count Limit (1-16) Relay Time Threshold (0-65535) DHCP Agent Information Option 82 State This field can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled using the pull-down menu. It is used to enable or disable the DHCP/BOOTP Relay service on the Switch. The default is Disabled This field allows an entry between 1 and 16 to define the maximum number of router hops DHCP/BOOTP messages can be forwarded across. The default hop count is 4. Allows an entry between 0 and 65535 seconds, and defines the maximum time limit for routing a DHCP/BOOTP packet. If a value of 0 is entered, the Switch will not process the value in the seconds field of the BOOTP or DHCP packet. If a non-zero value is entered, the Switch will use that value, along with the hop count to determine whether to forward a given BOOTP or DHCP packet. This field can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled using the pull-down menu. It is used to enable or disable the DHCP Agent Information Option 82 on the Switch. The default is Disabled. 135

Gratuitous ARP
Learning
This is used to enable/disable updating ARP cache based on the received gratuitous ARP
packet. If a switch receives a gratuitous ARP packet and the sender’s IP address in its ARP
table, it should update the ARP entry. This is
Enabled
by default.
Gratuitous ARP
Trap & Log
The switch can trap and log IP conflict events to inform the administrator. By default, trap is
Disabled and event log is Enabled.
Gratuitous ARP
Periodical Send
Interval
This is used to configure the interval for the periodical sending of gratuitous ARP request
packets. By default, the interval is 0.
After making the desired changes, click
Apply
to implement the new Gratuitous ARP Table entry.
DHCP/BOOTP Relay
The relay hops count limit allows the maximum number of hops (routers) that the DHCP/BOOTP messages can be relayed
through to be set. If a packet’s hop count is more than the hop count limit, the packet is dropped. The range is between
1
and
16
hops, with a default value of
4
. The relay time threshold sets the minimum time (in seconds) that the Switch will wait before
forwarding a BOOTREQUEST packet. If the value in the second field of the packet is less than the relay time threshold, the
packet will be dropped. The range is between
0
and
65535
seconds, with a default value of
0
seconds.
DHCP / BOOTP Relay Global Settings
To enable and configure
DHCP/BOOTP Relay Global Settings
on the Switch, click
Configuration
>
Layer 3 IP Networking >
DHCP/BOOTP Relay

DHCP/BOOTP Relay Global Settings
:
Figure 6- 120.
DHCP/
BOOTP Relay Global Settings window
The following fields can be set:
Parameter
Description
Relay State
This field can be toggled between
Enabled
and
Disabled
using the pull-down menu.
It is
used to enable or disable the DHCP/BOOTP Relay service on the Switch. The default is
Disabled
Relay Hops Count
Limit (1-16)
This field allows an entry between
1
and
16
to define the maximum number of router hops
DHCP/BOOTP messages can be forwarded across. The default hop count is
4
.
Relay Time Threshold
(0-65535)
Allows an entry between
0
and
65535
seconds, and defines the maximum time limit for
routing a DHCP/BOOTP packet. If a value of 0 is entered, the Switch will not process the
value in the seconds field of the BOOTP or DHCP packet. If a non-zero value is entered,
the Switch will use that value, along with the hop count to determine whether to forward a
given BOOTP or DHCP packet.
DHCP Agent
Information Option 82
State
This field can be toggled between
Enabled
and
Disabled
using the pull-down menu.
It is
used to enable or disable the DHCP Agent Information Option 82 on the Switch.
The
default is
Disabled.
