About This Document

ARP Configuration

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) maps IP addresses to MAC addresses. ARP sets up IP-to-MAC mappings and transmits Ethernet frames over Layer 2 networks based on the mappings.

ACL Configuration

Access control lists (ACLs) help ensure network security and stability.

DHCP Configuration

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) applies to various networks to ensure proper IP address allocation and save IP addresses.

DHCPv6 Configuration

DNS Configuration

This chapter describes how to configure the domain name system (DNS) for network devices to communicate using domain names.

IPv6 DNS Configuration

Configuring IPv6 Domain Name System (DNS) allows network devices to communicate using domain names.

MTU Configuration

IPv4 Basic Configuration

You can configure IPv4 addresses on network devices to implement data communications between network devices. In addition, you can improve network security by controlling ICMP packets and IP packets carrying route options.

Load Balancing Configuration

Load balancing improves packet forwarding performance on a network.

ACL6 Configuration

Access control lists (ACLs) help ensure network security and stability. ACL6s are the ACLs that support IPv6.

IPv6 Basic Configuration

The IPv6 protocol stack is a support for the routing protocols and application protocols on IPv6 networks.

ND Configuration

Neighbor discovery (ND) maps IPv6 addresses to MAC addresses to ensure communication on an Ethernet.
