If the switch is on it should find a hardware address and ARP should put it in your ARP cache. It´s independet from ICMP blocks and similar. So after trying to ping you should have an entry in your ARP table which you can control with arp command. It seems that I didn't make myself quite clear ... I want to know if there is a way to find out if a switch is working ok or not. It seems you can´t read. To ping someone you exactly know is connected to the switch is the easiest way to get an arp cache entry. If you don´t get an entry the switch is not working or the other one is blocking arp what shouldn´t happen because he wouldn´t be able to receive any packets. Just try what I said. Blocking protocols like ICMP doesn´t have an impact on the work of arp respectively ethernet. Exactly spoken no impact of getting the hardware address. ___ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
Re: [LARTC] Saving iproute2
Michael Tedesco schrieb: Thank you Bert, and Wichert. I know I can put my iproute2 commands in /etc/rc.local. Is there any other place I can save my commands? I just want know so I do not have to retype all of the command on reboot. Thx again Mike Tedesco You can put them in an executable script, you should provide full paths to the binaries in the script. The script can then be executed from within the rc.local. ___ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
