Use the link detection allowArpBroadcastProbeReply
parameter to control at the system-level whether the SBC allows or drops broadcast ARP replies.
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
For SBC 7000 series systems, enabling this parameter results in the SBC allowing through opCode Reply packets and dropping opCode Request packets. |
Note | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
For SBC SWe deployments, enabling this parameter results in the SBC allowing through both ARP Broadcast opCode Reply and opCode Request packets. This can make the SBC susceptible to a false indication of link failure if the network carries a high volume of opCode Request packets. This type of packet is typically sent during broadcast ARP storms. |
