Explanation |
An IPv4 network configuration specified for a port. The address is used as the default source address field in the IP header of generated traffic, and the configuration is also used for support of the ARP and PING protocols. |
Summary |
set and get, value types: A,A,A,A |
Parameters |
address: address, the IP address of the port. subnet: address, the subnet mask of the local network segment for the port. gateway: address, the gateway of the local network segment for the port. wild: address, wildcards used for ARP and PING replies, must be 255 or 0. |
Example, set or get: |
0/3 P_IPADDRESS 10.0.0.123 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.255 |
Explanation |
Whether the port generates replies using the Address Resolution Protocol. The port can reply to incoming ARP requests by mapping the IP address specified for the port to the MAC address specified for the port. ARP reply generation is independent of whether traffic and capture is on for the port. |
Summary |
set and get, value type: B |
Parameters |
onoff: coded byte, whether the port replies to ARP requests: [ OFF | ON ] |
Example, set or get: |
0/0 P_ARPREPLY ON |
Explanation |
Whether the port generates ping replies using the ICMP protocol. The port can reply to incoming ping requests to the IP address specified for the port. Ping reply generation is independent of whether traffic and capture is on for the port. |
Summary |
set and get, value type: B |
Parameters |
onoff: coded byte, whether the port replies to ping requests: [ OFF | ON ] |
Example, set or get: |
0/0 P_PINGREPLY OFF |
Explanation |
Whether the port generates replies using the IPv6 Network Discovery Protocol. The port can reply to incoming NDP requests by mapping the IPv6 address specified for the port to the MAC address specified for the port. NDP reply generation is independent of whether traffic and capture is on for the port. |
Summary |
set and get, value type: B |
Parameters |
onoff: coded byte, whether the port replies to NDP requests. [ OFF | ON ] |
Example, set or get: |
0/0 P_ARPV6REPLY ON |
Explanation |
Whether the port generates ping replies using the ICMP protocol received over IPv6. The port can reply to incoming ping requests to the IPv6 address specified for the port. Ping reply generation is independent of whether traffic and capture is on for the port. |
Summary |
set and get, value type: B |
Parameters |
onoff: coded byte, whether the port replies to ping requests: [ OFF | ON ] |
Example, set or get: |
0/0 P_PINGV6REPLY OFF |
Explanation |
A multi-cast mode for a port. Ports can use the IGMP protocol to join or leave multi-cast groups, either on a one-off basis or repeatedly. |
Summary |
set and get, value type: A,B,B |
Parameters |
ipaddress: a multi-cast group address to join or leave operation: coded byte, specifying the operation:
seconds: the interval between repeated joins |
Example, set or get: |
0/5 P_MULTICAST 239.1.2.3 ON 30 |
Explanation |
A multicast mode for a port. Ports can use the IGMPvs/IGMPv3 protocol to join or leave multicast groups, either on a one–off basis or repeatedly. |
Summary |
set and get, value type: A*,B,B,B (*up to 8) |
Parameters |
ipaddresses: up to 8 multi-cast group address to receive an operation
operation: coded byte, specifying the operation:
seconds: the interval between repeated joins/excludes ** Requires software release 83.2 or higher ipaddress: a multi-cast group address to join or leave |
Example, set or get: |
0/5 P_MULTICASTEXT 255.0.0.2 255.0.0.3 JOIN 10 IGMPV3 |
Explanation |
Allows addition of a VLAN tag to IGMPv2 and IGPMv3 packets. This command requires software release 83.2 or higher. |
Summary |
set and get, value type: B, B,I,B,B |
Parameters |
Num_headers: number of additional headers. Currently only 0 or 1 supported.
Hdrtype: Indicates the header format.
Tag1: VLAN tag (VID) Pcp1: VLAN Priority code point DEI1: Drop-eligible indicator
|
Example, set or get: |
00/5 P_MULTICASTHDR 1 VLAN 100 2 0 |
Explanation |
Multicast source list of the port. Only valid if the IGMP protocol version is IGMPv3 set by P_MULTICASTEXT. |
Summary |
set and get, value type: A |
Parameters |
ipaddresses: multicast source list addresses (max 8) in Group Record field of the IGMPv3 membership report packet. |
Example, set or get: |
0/5 P_MCSRCLIST 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2 3.3.3.3 |
