Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To configure a gateway to function as a distributed gateway and learn only the ARP packets sent by a user-side host, run the arp distribute-gateway enable command to enable the distributed gateway function. After this function is enabled:

The gateway processes only ARP packets sent by user-side hosts.
The gateway deletes the network-side ARP entries that have been learned.

Precautions

After the distributed gateway function is enabled:

Static ARP entries on the tunnel side fail to be configured on the gateway.
If multiple gateways have the same IP address in the distributed scenario, this gateway does not report an ARP conflict.

Example

# Enable the distributed gateway function on VBDIF interface 10.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface vbdif 10
[HUAWEI-Vbdif10] arp distribute-gateway enable
