Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To configure a gateway to function as a distributed gateway and learn only the ARP packets sent by the 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 interfaces and advertises host routes.
The gateway deletes the ARP packets sent by network-side interfaces as well as the associated host routes.

Configuration Impact

After the distribution gateway function is enabled:

Static ARP entries on the network side fail to be configured on the gateway.
If multiple gateways have the same IP address, after this command is run to enable the distributed gateway function on a gateway, this gateway does not report an ARP conflict.

Example

# Enable the distributed gateway function on an interface named vbdif 10.
